Watch: Largest comet in the Solar System is hurtling toward the Sun

At this very moment, a massive, newly-discovered comet is hurtling toward the inner Solar System.

It was spotted during an analysis of images collected by the Dark Energy Survey — collaborative project funded by global research groups.

Its job is to help us better understand the properties of dark energy and universe expansion.

Researchers say Bernardinelli-Bernstein likely came flying toward us from the Oort Cloud, a mysterious, theoretical cloud of icy objects that surrounds the Sun around 3.2 lightyears away.

This gives astronomers the unique opportunity to observe Bernardinelli-Bernstein for a longer time it approaches the Sun.

And you might have a chance to spot it, too — if you have the right equipment on-hand.
