The discovery of Halley comet has caused a terrible epidemic

The occurrence of comet Halley has "thrown" the atmosphere a huge amount of dust that has caused the Earth to suffer from hunger, epidemics .

With the advancement of science and technology today, astronomers can predict the "route" of comets, but in ancient culture, the appearance of comets is considered a sign of "Apocalypse".

A recent study by American scientists showed that people who lived about 1,500 years ago had good reason to fear celestial objects. They argue that the appearance of Halley's comet caused a terrible famine in 536.

The appearance of comet Halley has "thrown" a huge amount of dust into the atmosphere, causing the Earth to suffer from widespread drought, crop failure, and starvation for a long time.

According to the scientists' analysis, although it is composed of carbonic, methane, frozen water, high molecular organic compounds and minerals, the origin of comets is in its nucleus.

Comet nucleus consists of heavy minerals or high molecular weight organic coating that is a dark surface, capable of absorbing very strong heat. As a result, it evaporates the gases and creates dust around it, sometimes up to hundreds of thousands of kilometers, forming a trail of stretching. Thanks to sunlight, when we look at it from Earth, it is a light like a broom.

Scientists believe that Halley's comet is the factor causing "Justinian plague" in 541 - 542.

Further research, scientists believe, this event caused "Justinian plague" in 541 - 542. This is the first plague recorded in history. It started in Egypt and gradually spread to Constantinople.

"A large amount of atmospheric dust has fallen to Earth, stored in ice blocks in Greenland between 533 and 540. This may have caused the temperature," said lead researcher Dallas Abbott of Columbia University . Earth dropped 3 degrees Celsius in 533 ".

Besides, she also discovered fossils of small tropical marine creatures in ice blocks. Most likely, the extraterrestrial forces, such as Halley's comet, have brought low-latitude organisms to Greenland.

Currently, scientists continue to study because comets still carry on many mysteries to answer.
