Did you know that comets are essentially cosmic snowballs? Composed of ice, dust, and rocky material, they originate from the outer regions of our solar system. When they approach the Sun, the heat causes their ices to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and often a spectacular tail that can stretch millions of miles. This tail always points away from the Sun due to solar wind, making comets one of the most beautiful and dynamic phenomena in our night sky.
