Mysterious comet suburbs fringe the Solar System

In a study published in the British Journal of Astrophysics this week, scientist Gal Sarid and his co-authors describe the discovery of an orbiting "gateway" that many comets pass through. it before they reach our Solar System.

Scientists discovered the "gateway" that many comets passed through before they reached the Solar System.

This gate was discovered to be a gate for small icy objects to travel in the chaotic trajectory between Jupiter and Neptune.

For a long time, the gateway of the comet world has been the talk of astronomy for many years.

What we discovered is that there is a gate model, which acts as a "cradle of comets". This discovery will change the way we think about the history of icy objects that often approached the Solar System.

The researchers said that our understanding of comets is closely linked to a better understanding of the early composition of the Solar System and the development of conditions for the atmosphere and life. arise in the universe.
