A comet that has just exploded is currently
approaching Earth,
The comet, called 12P/Pons-Brooks (12Pd 12P/Pons-Brooks (12P), "is a cryovolcanic — or cold volcano — comet, ,"
Many comets have elliptical paths that bring them very close to the
sun. A comet loses much of its material each time it
approaches the sun. It has been estimated that a comet will loose all its
mass in under 100 000 years. This is a serious problem for the secular view of
a 4.6 billion year old solar system. If the solar system were that old, we should not see any comets.
