Paxi – Rosetta und Kometen

Hello, I am a taxi and I come from a distant planet. I came to earth to meet you and tell you about my space adventures. Are you ready to encounter a comet? Comets are simply beautiful, especially from this one. It is called Elrob and it was in the nineties Visible from the earth for many months over the years Most of you were not even born then The prophets are so beautiful because their Switzerland shines so bright That really makes them an unmistakable phenomenon in the night sky They are unique Just come with me on a trip To the outer edge of the solar system I will show you where you can encounter comets and there we will find some of them so you can observe them up close You will be surprised.

We are very far from the sun. That is also the reason why it is so cold here, the bitterness is unimaginable how cold it is here, you see these dark objects, they look like dirty snowballs, they are comets, we are approaching the sun again. and little by little it is heating up, what is happening with the comet, suddenly fountains of gas and dust come out that are already surrounded by a bright cloud made of this matter. This cloud is called a coma. This is Greek and. means h. Incredible. Now we are even closer to the sun.

The solar wind pushes gas and dust particles into the coma. This is how comet tails are created. Wow, he has a lot of speed. The needle on my speedometer reads more than 100,000 kilometers per hour. It is approximately 30 times faster than the fastest plane on Earth. Most comets in the solar system move in an oval orbit. Some orbit the sun and then disappear at the edge of the solar system. before going around again at some point, over and over again. Some hope to live their lives flying directly into the sun. Others only circle the sun once and never return.

Their paths are very different. Now I tell you a fascinating story. about comets and the impressive robotic space probe Rosetta The story of Rosetta began in 2004, when the European Space Agency founded Rosetta with the support of many space partners around the world and launched the Rosetta space probe into space. in space for ten years on the way to its destination comet 67 p a rio in the a7 co and do you know what arrived in 2014?

can accompany the comet on its way to the sun the probe can take photographs of the comet Rosetta is quite large with open solar modules, it reaches up to a seven-story building and in its luggage it carries many more.

A landing robot that can land on the comet. It is the size of a washing machine. Landing on a comet would be difficult. Without much information and with screws in its legs to move across the surface, the robot could return to space like a rubber ball from Comet 3 had never done before. A space probe approached a comet that Logan and landed on it, That's what's special about Rosetta, the land. Many robots can perform drilling. Look around and sniff out the comet. Together, Rosetta and many want to investigate what comets are made of. The information collected. everything is stored in a computer aboard Rosetta and sent to scientists on Earth via a powerful radio antenna.

Why was comet research so important in ancient times, when a new planet was still young long before dinosaurs took over the world or life? The first plants emerged and grew. Countless comets. The Earth was a real castle. Even the basic building blocks of life are the material or molecules that all animals and plants are made of. Rosetta helps you find out if comets really brought water. in the ocean and the origin of life on Earth We accompanied a comet and saw how Sweat is created and gets bigger as we get closer to the sun. We have learned about an incredible space mission. who flew next to a comet and landed on a robot that was the first to land on it.

We will soon know if comets have water and the beginning of life on earth brought excuses.
