Hubble finds largest comet ever.

Unread post by Paul D »

NASA confirmed a few days ago that the Hubble telescope has found the largest ever comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein). It should arrive here in 2031 at 1 billion miles away from the earth. All the information on the comet can be found here on the NASA website. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/20 ... -ever-seen
