Summary
[edit]DescriptionNASA’s Webb to Unlock the Mysteries of Comets and the Early Solar System (51145485906).jpg |
One of the comets the Webb team will study is Borrelly, a Jupiter-family comet. NASA's Deep Space 1 spacecraft snapped this image of Borrelly’s icy, rocky nucleus in September 2001. The irregularly shaped nucleus is 8 kilometers, or 5 miles, long. While Webb will not see this level of detail, it will be able to measure molecular composition on the surface and sense variations as the object rotates.
