Comet SWAN Fades Away from Sky

A new green comet was seen by telescopes. It may have broken into pieces near the sun. People hoped to see it without a telescope, but this may not happen.

Comet SWAN came from far beyond Pluto. It could be seen with tools for weeks. Experts think it did not live through its trip by the sun.

Comets are like old, frozen balls of gas and dust. They are from billions of years ago. Sometimes a comet goes through the inner solar system.

The comet was found by some space fans. They used photos from a special camera. The camera is on a spacecraft that studies the sun.

This comet will not get very close to Earth. It might have been its first sun trip. After passing the sun, it will go far away and may not come back.
