Astronomers say incredible hulk comet has exploded in brightness

A green comet called the incredible hulk is brightening at such a rate it will soon be visible with the naked eye. it is surrounded by a blast from a massive gas cloud - which is believed could could eventually cause it to disintegrate. The gas cloud around the comet's nucleus is about 4 arc minutes wide.This puts the comet's atmosphere at 161,556 miles wide in diameter, almost twice as wide as the planet Jupiter.It is approaching the sun on a hyperbolic orbit–a narrow open-ended path that will ultimately fling it back to the outer solar system.The Comet is falling toward the sun from the Oort cloud, a vast reservoir of fresh comets in the distant outer solar system.its primary mission is to detect near-Earth asteroids that threaten our planet.
