The research team evrozonda Rosetta presented the official results of observation module Philae on the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It turned out this cosmic body suddenly loose and rich in organic matter. Comet also has some semblance of seasons. One member of the Swiss University of Bern Myrtle Hessing said that between the nucleus and the tail of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, discovered a complex system of relationships. This system is reflected in seasonal, nocturnal and diurnal variations in the proportions of various substances. According to scientists, changes occur due to changes in temperature of the surface layer and the core of this cosmic body passes dni.ru.

“The large fluctuations in the chemical composition of the comet’s tail indicate that there exist day and night variations in the proportions of different gases, and probably related to seasonal changes in them. When I first noticed this phenomenon, I thought that was a mistake in the data, – says Hessing. – But after we check all three times, we think that between the gas and the tail of a comet nucleus has a complex system of relationships, and seasonal variations in the proportions of different substances, is likely to occur due to changes in core temperature in the surface layers of it “.

By the way, the comet Churyumov -Gerasimenko was a kind of cosmic dissident, absolutely not similar to the Earth and other bodies in the inner solar system. It called into question the popular theory that the main supplier of water to our planet in the early days of her life were comets.

A new piece of data on the nature of the celestial body, presented today in a series of eight articles in Science , contains less unexpected discoveries. However, the astronomers were able to discover some interesting facts in the fabric and life of the comet, and ask ourselves about the nature and history of its birth, RIA Novosti reported.
