Death Comet?

    The Death Comet is shaped like a skull that hit the earth on Halloween at 11:14 pm. This was first observed by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS-1. This is no alien, instead it is a comet. The comet velocity pasted at an unusually speed of more than 78,000 miles per hour and came within 310,000 miles of Earth, nearly as close as our moon. While N.A.S.A viewed the close flyby as a scientific opportunity to study the space rock’s physical properties in detail, N.A.S.A worried it would crash into Earth, killing thousands of people. Though it did not harm anyone the name “Death Comet” still stuck. We are not supposed to encounter the “Death Comet” again until 2088, its second visit is generating as much excitement as the first one. However, the researcher argues that there is no scientific reason that it should be called the “Death Comet”. Maybe that is why N.A.S.A calls it the “Great Pumpkin”.  

But…

   It’s second return is supposed to come back for round 2 on  November 11th . No worries because scientist think it is a dead comet. This comet will keep at a safe 24-million-mile distance from Earth, reported Mother Nature Network.
