Artwork of comets passing the Earth
Nemesis comets. Artwork of comets passing close to the Earth. The Nemesis star, which caused them, is seen in a dark lane of the Milky Way at upper right. Nemesis is a hypothetical companion star of the Sun. It is claimed to be a low-mass, dim red or brown dwarf star which has an eccentric orbit. It is claimed Nemesis perturbs the orbits of lumps of ice in the Oort Cloud at the edge of our solar system. These perturbed comets enter the inner solar system and become comets. The comets tails are formed from gas and dust which has evaporated from their surface due to the Suns heat. Impacts from Nemesis comets could be the cause of the periodic mass extinctions in Earths history

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork depicts the mesmerizing sight of comets passing by Earth, with the enigmatic Nemesis star visible in a dark lane of the Milky Way at the upper right corner. The Nemesis star is a hypothetical companion to our Sun, believed to be a dim red or brown dwarf with an eccentric orbit. According to theories, it exerts gravitational influence on icy objects in the Oort Cloud, located at the outer reaches of our solar system. As these lumps of ice are perturbed by Nemesis, they venture into the inner solar system and transform into magnificent comets. The tails of these comets are formed from gas and dust that evaporate from their surfaces due to intense heat from our own Sun. Intriguingly, some scientists propose that impacts from these Nemesis comets could potentially explain periodic mass extinctions throughout Earth's history. In this thought-provoking artwork captured by Science Photo Library, we witness a convergence between science and art as it beautifully illustrates celestial phenomena intertwined with cosmic mysteries. It serves as a reminder that even within artistic interpretations lies scientific curiosity and exploration. Let your imagination soar as you contemplate this stunning portrayal of cometary wonders and ponder upon humanity's connection to distant celestial bodies like never before.
