Capturar la desintegraci\u00f3n de un cometa que guarda la memoria del nacimiento del sistema solar hace 4,600 millones de a\u00f1os ha sido un sue\u00f1o largamente anhelado por los astr\u00f3nomos. Ahora, ese sue\u00f1o se ha hecho realidad por pura casualidad. El telescopio espacial Hubble de la NASA observ\u00f3 con \u00e9xito el momento en que el cometa C\/2025 K1 (ATLAS), que se alejaba de la \u00f3rbita de Mercurio, se desintegr\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Encontraron lo que no buscaban<\/h2>\n

\u201cA veces, los mejores descubrimientos cient\u00edficos surgen del azar\u00bb, explica John Noonan, profesor investigador de la Universidad de Auburn . \u00abNuestro objetivo inicial qued\u00f3 fuera de nuestro alcance debido a limitaciones t\u00e9cnicas, y tuvimos que encontrar r\u00e1pidamente uno nuevo. El hecho de que el cometa se desintegrara justo en el momento en que lo observ\u00e1bamos fue una coincidencia verdaderamente milagrosa\u201d.<\/p>\n

El cometa K1 no era el objetivo original de esta observaci\u00f3n. El equipo de investigaci\u00f3n hab\u00eda planeado inicialmente observar otro cometa, pero este se volvi\u00f3 inobservable tras su paso previsto, y se eligi\u00f3 el cometa K1 como sustituto.<\/p>\n

Noonan se percat\u00f3 de la anomal\u00eda al d\u00eda siguiente; aunque se supon\u00eda que solo deb\u00eda observar un cometa, las im\u00e1genes grabadas mostraban cuatro. En otras palabras, hab\u00eda captado el proceso de fragmentaci\u00f3n de un cometa.<\/p>\n

Capturar la fragmentaci\u00f3n de un cometa con el Telescopio Espacial Hubble era un objetivo que el equipo de investigaci\u00f3n hab\u00eda propuesto en repetidas ocasiones. Sin embargo, coordinar las observaciones con la desintegraci\u00f3n del cometa es extremadamente dif\u00edcil, y todos los intentos hab\u00edan fracasado. Pero ahora, por casualidad, lo han logrado.<\/p>\n

Esta imagen, capturada por el Telescopio Espacial Hubble de la NASA, muestra la fragmentaci\u00f3n del cometa \u00abC\/2025 K1 (ATLAS)\u00bb. Las im\u00e1genes fueron tomadas durante tres d\u00edas: el 8, 9 y 10 de noviembre de 2025. Esta es la primera vez que el Telescopio Espacial Hubble ha captado una etapa tan temprana del proceso de fragmentaci\u00f3n de un cometa.<\/p>\n

Los materiales primordiales del sistema solar<\/h2>\n

\u201cIr\u00f3nicamente, est\u00e1bamos observando un cometa com\u00fan cuando, por casualidad, se desintegr\u00f3 ante nuestros ojos\u201d, recuerda<\/a> el investigador principal y profesor de la Universidad de Auburn, Dennis Bodowitz. El colapso de este cometa proporcion\u00f3 informaci\u00f3n cient\u00edficamente valiosa, ya que los cometas son reliquias de la \u00e9poca en que se form\u00f3 el sistema solar y est\u00e1n compuestos de los materiales primitivos que lo conformaban.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, los cometas han experimentado el calentamiento por la luz solar y la irradiaci\u00f3n de los rayos c\u00f3smicos, lo que dificulta enormemente determinar si su composici\u00f3n es primitiva o el resultado de la evoluci\u00f3n. Solo observando el interior de un cometa abierto podemos acceder a material antiguo que no ha sido tratado en absoluto.<\/p>\n

Los investigadores han observado que el cometa K1 se fragmenta en al menos cuatro partes. Cada fragmento ten\u00eda su propia coma (una nube de gas y polvo que se forma alrededor del n\u00facleo helado del cometa). Estos fragmentos solo eran detectables como d\u00e9biles puntos de luz apenas distinguibles por los telescopios terrestres. Sin embargo, el Telescopio Espacial Hubble logr\u00f3 distinguirlos y capturarlos con claridad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
