3. In November 2013 an object orbiting the sun seemed to disappear behind the sun. When a satellite did not detect the object, astronomers thought that the object had
been destroyed when it passed close to the sun. However, when another satellite
detected a small, bright object with a fan-shaped tail, astronomers proposed that the
object was not destroyed.
What type of object were astronomers most likely observing?
A. nubula
A meteor
An asteroid
A comet
