Some are calling this “PLANET X” or the planet with the Anunnaki! BUT What we know is that astronomers believe it will pass through our planetary system at its closest approach a decade from now, in the year 2031. It will most likely brush by Saturn’s orbit.
The celestial giant is known as the Bernardinelli-Bernstein comet in honor of the astronomers who discovered it, and has a diameter of a whopping 100 miles (160 km). This makes it the largest comet ever discovered. This comet is larger than Mars’ moons Phobos and Deimos combined (and is also the exact same diameter as the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi).
P.S. – If you’re wondering where it came from, researchers think it originated in the nuvem d’orte — an imaginary zone that encircles the Solar System’s ends.
Only circumstantial evidence hints at the zone’s existence, however, due to a lack of actual observations. pic.twitter.com/RV8ru2ZBDs

The Bernardinelli-Bernstein is a massive comet, and yet don’t worry there is no cause for concern here on the blue marble we inhabit. Bernardinelli-Bernstein will pass about 11 AU (Astronomical Units – the distance between the Sun and Earth) from the Sun. At that distance, it will most likely skim by Saturn’s orbit between Uranus, posing no threat to Earth. Unless there are Aliens on there just waiting to unleash their evil Alien voodoo on us all, and invade this world for shits, and giggles. Ok let’s all breath in, and out for a second… So before its approach to Saturn, scientists believe the comet will begin to demonstrate classic characteristics of other comets, like the formation of a tail and coma, making it more distinguishable. In the coming decade, the Bernardinelli-Bernstein comet will likely put on quite a display for astronomers and leave us Earthlings in an utter state of amazement.
