Comet 67P has an orbit in very complicated space.

Recently, a group of Canadian astronomers collected and redrawed the history of the comet trajectory of comet 67P in space over the past 12 years.

As a result of the drawing, 67P is like many comets that always have an orbital path in extremely complex and unstable space. Comet 67P can appear in the universe millions of years ago and was soon present in the solar system.

It may appear from the Kuiper belt, an area belt outside the orbit of Neptune. This particular place contains a lot of other asteroids, comets and small stars that once lived temporarily, then traveled in space.

During the recent cycle, 67P tended to move closer to the solar system and this comet is still continuing its indefinite journey. This research has just been published at the European Planetary Science Conference in Pasadena, California.
