NASA measures record breaking, huge comet headed towards Earth
Nasa has spotted a record-breakingly large comet headed nearer to Earth. Its icy nucleus is bigger than any ever seen - measuring around 80 miles across, and 50 times bigger than the heart of most known comets. It is also thought to have a mass of about 500 trillion tons - a hundred thousand times more massive than the typical comet found closer to the Sun. And the object, known as C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein), is headed in this direction, quickly. Travelling at 22,000 miles per hour, it is moving from the edge of the solar system towards its the centre. However, we should be entirely safe. The comet will not get closer than a billion miles from the Sun - further away even than the planet Saturn - and that will not happen until 2031.
