Comets

The Grandview Comets are a fictional team in the television show "Friday Night Lights." They are a high school football team located in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas. The show follows the team's struggles and triumphs both on and off the field.

A daredevil comet is a comet when in the place where the comet is, you are assinged to defeat someone that you have already defeated. But the difference is that you have to do this with only one chance.

The first recorded observation of Mars dates back to ancient times, with records of its movements and appearances found in Babylonian and Egyptian texts. Comets have been observed throughout history, with the earliest recorded sightings documented by ancient Chinese astronomers around 1000 BC.

Comets have highly elliptical orbits that can take them far from the Sun for long periods of time. This means that some comets may only be visible from Earth every few decades or even centuries when they come close enough to the Sun to be seen.

Rock fragments traveling in space are called meteoroids. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a streak of light known as a meteor or shooting star. If any part of the meteoroid survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it becomes known as a meteorite.

HayleysComet will come about 2061!!!!!!!!!!!! It last came in 1986.

The European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft was the probe that closely studied a comet's nucleus. It visited Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko in 2014 and deployed a lander, Philae, to study the comet's surface.

Before it's last encounter in 1996, it was a mere 17,000 years.

However, because of gravitational interference it is now 72,000 years.

So if you saw it in 1996 - well done - you won't see it again.

first of all its in OUR solar system because its not owned my someone in particular. there is NO purpose for a comet... its just interesting and beautiful to us. it does not harm of do anything to us. its just... there!

A comet's ion tail consists of ionized gas molecules and atoms that have been stripped of their electrons by the Sun's ultraviolet radiation and solar wind. This ionized gas forms a long tail that points away from the Sun due to the pressure of the solar wind.

Maria Mitchell discovered a comet by observing it through a telescope on the night of October 1, 1847. She was the first American woman to discover a comet, now known as "Miss Mitchell's Comet." Her discovery brought her recognition and established her as a respected astronomer.

Comet Halley was discovered by English astronomer Edmond Halley in 1705 from England.

Halley's Comet never comes to Earth. The comet - as with all astronomical bodies - follows its own orbit, falling endlessly through the solar system.

Halley's Comet is currently a little further from the Sun than the orbit of Neptune, moving very slowly outward from the Sun. It will linger there, reaching the peak of its orbit in about 15 years, before beginning its long slow fall back into the inner solar system.

The last time that comet hale bopp was here was around 1996 and 1997.

Comets with parabolic orbits typically enter the solar system once and then leave, never to return. Their orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun and other celestial bodies, causing them to follow a path that resembles a parabola. Once they pass close to the Sun, they gain enough speed to escape the solar system.

sometime in April of 2061

Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs" or "icy mudballs" due to their icy composition mixed with dust, rock, and organic compounds.

there isnt any

it is the time when the tail is facing the north of the other comets like this <halleys tail is north of the other comets when they go > this way

The nucleus and the coma compose the core of the comet. The nucleus is the solid, rocky part at the center, while the coma is the surrounding cloud of gas and dust that forms as the comet gets closer to the Sun and begins to vaporize.

The name of the comet seen in 1986 is Halley's Comet. You can see it every 75-76 years, and is the only short period comet that is clearly visible to the naked eye from earth, and thus the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime.

In mid-September 2011, the following comets are brighter than magnitude 12

as seen from Earth:

-- P/2007 R5 SOHO

-- C/2010 X1 Elenin

-- 45P Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova

-- C/2009 P1 Garradd

Most "asteroids" are in orbit around the Sun, unless disturbed by gravity or collisions. Comets may orbit the Sun regularly, or be drawn in from the outer solar system and pass by the Sun on their way back out (hyperbolic comets).

The surface of a comet is primarily made up of dust, rock, and ice. This mixture forms a layer called the coma, which is the thin outer crust covering the rocky and icy nucleus of the comet. Additionally, comets can also contain organic compounds and other volatile materials.
