Astronomers at the national observatory have discovered three new comets in a single month, using a telescope camera built by university students.
None of the comets will come close to Earth, but one may be visible with binoculars in the spring when it passes nearest the Sun.
The opposition said it would examine the details carefully, but several of its members signalled support for the main idea during the debate.
Regional governments will receive guidance from the ministry over the coming weeks. Officials said they would review the first results after one year.
