But scientists won&#8217;t get any of these observations back until February because Juice&#8217;s main antenna is serving as a heat shield while it&#8217;s near the sun, limiting the flow of data.<\/p>\n<p>Named for the telescope in Chile that first spotted it, the comet is believed to be anywhere from 1,444 feet across to 3.5 miles across. Observations indicate that the exceptionally fast-moving comet may have originated in a star system older than our own \u2014 &#8220;which gives me goose bumps to think about,&#8221; said NASA
