"Its orbit brings it close to Earth,[url=http://www.isabelmarantsneakersbootss.com/]isabel marant online[/url], but also takes it way out past Jupiter. Such a vast orbit is similar to a comet's, not an asteroid's, which tend to be more circular -- so people thought it was one that had shed all its ice deposits."The team reexamined images of Don Quixote captured in 2009 by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope when it was in the part of its orbit closest to the sun, and found it had a coma -- a cloud surrounding the comet nucleus -- and a faint tail."The power of the Spitzer telescope allowed us to spot the coma and tail, which was not possible using optical telescopes on the ground," Emery said. "We now think this body contains a lot of ice, including carbon dioxide and/or carbon monoxide ice, rather than just being rocky."</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
