Comet 238p/Read (imagen de Nircam)

Esta imagen del cometa 238p/read fue capturada por nircam (cámaras de cámaras en el frente) en el instrumento nebebeBeB en NECABEB en NECABEB SUTPET. 2022. Muestra el nebuloso halo, llamado coma, y ​​cola que son características de los cometas, en oposición a los asteroides. El resumen de comas y cola polvorientos de la vaporización de los ICES ya que el sol calienta el cuerpo principal del cometa.
