Comet 67P is cracked and may crumble in the future
A series of strange signs such as cracks that were found on the comet surface of comet 67P made the scientific community extremely shocked.
A series of strange signs such as cracks that were found on the comet surface of comet 67P made the scientific community extremely shocked.
Accordingly, Stubbe Hviid, a planetary scientist at Germany's Aerospace Center, has just announced the American Astronomical Society of Planetary Science about the appearance of strange cracks on comet surface 67P.
The largest crack was found in 2014 and the new discovery showed that there was an additional crack at the pillar section connecting the two comet lobes.
Stubbe Hviid said, the cause of this crack may come from the impact of the force is too strong between two blocks of comet geological lobe 67P impact. Specifically, the structure of comet 67P consists of two giant stone lobes connected together on a two-lobed cylindrical rib cage.
When comet 67P moves, swirls in space, the heavy compressive force of these two rock lobes will strongly impact on this junction of ribs, causing cracks at the surface . Because the comet itself does not have a lot of fine dust, or adhesives or melting ice that can restore geological cracks like some other planets, so at this rate, comet 67P can break in about The next few hundred years.
