Fizzing sodium could explain asteroid Phaeton's come like activity

Models and lab tests suggest the asteroid could be venting sodium vapor as it orbit's close to the sun  explaining its increase in brightness.

As a comet 200 ms through the inner solar system  the sun heats it causing ice below the surface to dislodges dust ànd rock and the gas creates a brought tail that can extend millions of miles from the nucleus like an ethereal veil .

Whereas comets contain lots of different ices asteroids are mainly rock and known  for producing such majestic displays but a new study examines how near earth asteroid phoethan may in fact exhibit come like activity despite lacking significant quantities of ice.
