Unveiling the Secrets of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks: Radio Signals Reveal All

Get ready to embark on an astronomical journey as we explore the fascinating findings of a research team led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory. Using the powerful Tianma Radio Telescope, they've made groundbreaking discoveries about comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. Discover how this Halley-type comet, with its 71-year orbital period, has captivated scientists with its mysterious outbursts. Learn about the rich variety of icy components within comets and how they provide a window into the primordial solar system. Witness the detection of ammonia molecules in radio waves, a first for Halley-type comets, and uncover the potential causes behind 12P's frequent outbursts. This video delves into the team's multi-band radio observations, revealing the water production rate and gas expansion velocity of 12P. Join us as we explore the evolution of material release during outbursts and gain new insights into the mechanisms of cometary activity. Get ready to be amazed by the wonders of the universe!
