NASA | Observing Comet Siding Spring at Mars

The video discusses the Oort Cloud, a distant region of icy debris in our solar system, believed to be the source of comets like Comet Siding Spring. Discovered in 2013, this comet is on a path to closely pass Mars, providing a unique opportunity for observation. NASA's rovers and orbiters will study the comet while taking precautions to avoid potential dust impacts. Global observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope, and amateur astronomers will also observe this rare event.
