Scientists have developed a groundbreaking model to trace how the chemistry of one comet has evolved over time.

The new model tracks the orbit of Hale-Bopp , starting from its cold-storage phase in the Oort Cloud followed by five of its orbits around the sun.

Knowing about internal cometary interactions is important because it reveals what kinds of molecules might've been present during the beginning of our solar system.

Scientists believe that comets are a source for organic molecules on Earth .

JWST observations are also beginning to confirm this view that these molecules are there in the cold ices.

Scientists are currently preparing a model study of comet 67 Pa Jupiter -family comet that made history as the first comet to be orbited and landed on by a spacecraft.
