A Massive Comet in Deep Space
This scene features a large celestial body traveling through the vacuum of space. The comet has a distinct, irregular nucleus at its center and a long, expanding tail that splits into several broad sections as it moves.
Fascinating Facts About Comets
Comets are often described as dirty snowballs because they consist mainly of frozen gases, ice, rock, and dust. As a comet approaches the heat of the Sun, some of its ice melts and evaporates, releasing gas and dust into space. Solar wind pushes this material away from the solar body, creating a glowing tail that can stretch for millions of miles.
Natural Colors of a Celestial Comet
