Detection of flares after the landslide on comet 67P

A new image depicts the moment when the astounding astronomical phenomenon has just appeared on comet 67P, making astronomers extremely shocked.

Accordingly, this latest photo was publicly released by the European Space Agency (ESA) on August 25, 2016, by the Rosetta probe directly capturing on comet 67P.

The new discovery shows on comet 67P, particularly at the geological area called the Atum region, located on a comet geological lobe, suddenly appearing a similar landslide phenomenon as the phenomenon Landslides on Earth.

However, it was not just that when a series of strange glowing cannon suddenly appeared after the landslide, the scientists on the probe Rosetta were surprised.

Experts say, " these flares are the result of a landslide that causes small energy sources to collide with light reflected from dirt particles ," said Eberhard Gruen of the Institute. Nuclear physics in Heidelberg, Germany said in a statement.

It is known that comet 67 P has a full name 67P / Churyumov – Gerasimenko often referred to as Chury , 67P / C – G , Comet 67P or 67P , is a comet with orbit lasting 6.45 years, time rotation time is about 12.4 hours and goes at a speed of 135,000 km / h (84,000 miles / h). Comets will arrive at the near-Japanese point (the closest distance to the sun) on August 13, 2015. Like all comets, stars are named after the astronomer Soviet Union Klim Ivanovych Churyumov and Svetlana Ivanovna Gerasimenko discovered in 1969.
