About it
A comet is a lump of ice, dust and rock, often only a few kilometers wide, that travels around the Sun on a long, stretched orbit. As it comes near the Sun, its ice turns to gas, making a glowing cloud around it called a coma, and two tails: a straight blue tail of gas and a curved, pale tail of dust. The tails point away from the Sun.
Tap it to swing it past the Sun: jets of gas burst from the sunny side, the coma swells, and both tails flare longer and brighter, then fade back. Halley's Comet comes back about every 76 years.
