YAKARTA, AYOBANDUNG.COM Astronomers say there will be an interesting celestial phenomenon that can be observed in late April and early May 2020, Comet C / 2019 Y4 or known as Comet ATLAS.
ATLAS is an acronym for the Ultimate Asteroid Ground Impact Alert System, a Hawaii-based study that focused on detecting small objects near Earth a few weeks before the celestial body had an impact on Earth.
Previously, this comet was reported to have dimmed on April 6, 2020. Observers reported that the magnitude of Comet ATLAS had continued to increase from +8.8 to +9.2. The higher the magnitude number, the weaker the object in the sky is.
The latest report from the Space.com page, Comet ATLAS has broken into small pieces. According to astrophysicist Gianluca Masi, founder and director of the Virtual Telescope Project in Italy, the nucleus or nucleus of the comet ATLAS has been destroyed and divided into four large fragments.
In the image uploaded by the Virtual Telescope Project through Space.com, a fragment of the comet is destroyed. Still, the destruction of comets is not uncommon. Rupture caused by nothing less than the composition of the object itself.
Comets are objects of ice, so when exposed to sunlight, they quickly evaporate. Evaporation will make rotation faster and can cause breakdown.
