After an eruption, or outburst, the comet's coma — a fuzzy, reflective cloud of cryomagma — expands, making the comet appear much brighter as it reflects more of the sun's rays.

An unusual comet dubbed a 'giant space volcano' has blown its top, sending so-called 'cryomagma' hurtling into outer space, according to astronomers. Known as 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, it is one ...

Science Astronomers eye 'giant space volcano' comet spewing 'cryomagma' The comet is about as weird as one can get and is more active than it's been in decades.

The latest eruption of the cryovolcanic comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, which will make its closest approach to Earth next year, shows that the icy object may have lost its iconic devil horns for good.

These flare-ups may release a "cryomagma", which is a cold blend of gas and hydrocarbons. And you'll be able to see the "exploding" comet in the night sky until the end of the month.

Earlier research conducted by other scientists found that the conditions on Ceres wouldn’t allow for the cryomagma generated by the Occator impact to exist for more than about 400,000 years.

It has a solid nucleus, with an estimated diameter of 10.5 miles (17 kilometers), and is filled with a mix of ice, dust and gas known as cryomagma.

But unlike most other comets, the gas and ice inside 12P's nucleus build up so much that the celestial object can violently explode, shooting out its frosty guts, known as cryomagma, through large ...
