The comet 'graveyard' was discovered

Colombian astronomers say they have found a place to bury the bodies of comets, and from here some comets can be revived after millions of years of motionlessness.

In the past decade, 12 active comets have been found in the asteroid belt area between Mars and Jupiter.

This prompted a group of experts from Anitoquia University in Medellin (Colombia) to find a way to determine the origin of these comets, according to AFP.

Millions of years ago, the asteroid belt is a densely packed place of thousands of comets, but this community is gradually aging and its activity is significantly reduced.

As a result, it became the graveyard of comets.

However, for thousands of years, or even millions of years later, more than a dozen comets suddenly recovered from the grave, thanks to the sun's little impact.

Therefore, they are called comets 'Lazarus' , the biblical character name was revived by Jesus after being confirmed dead.
