#2003rm — Public Fediverse posts

Several dark comets – including the relatively large #2003RM – have been found in the near-Earth neighbourhood. These dark #comets ☄️ underwent bursts of #acceleration, enough to move off their orbits by hundreds of kilometres every few years. What lies behind their erratic movements remains a mystery. They do not show any signs of material being ejected from their surface https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250807-a-japanese-spacecraft-is-racing-toward-a-mysterious-dark-comet-to-discover-the-secrets-it-holds
