The following information is provided by the good folks at EarthSky.org. 

An enormous comet, named Bernardinelli-Bernstein, is headed toward the sun. The comet core is 80 miles wide! That's 10 times wider than a typical comet core. Astronomers just announced they now see jets erupting from the comet's core as it barrels sunward. We'll be talking about this comet with Nathan Roth, an astronomer who studies it. The video drops at 12:15 p.m. CDT (17:15 UTC) on Monday, June 30. EarthSky's Deborah Byrd will host. EarthSky.org: https://earthsky.org/
