I like to start with a low power eyepiece (~50X). This is often best if for no other reason than to more easily identify the star field. I find that ~135X works best for most comets, but in a few cases, particularly for the smaller comets, as much as 200X can make the comet more easily visible.

There are far more NEAs than NECs (discovered as of 2018: The short-period comets are found near the ecliptic, which means they are orbiting the One tail is called the ion tail and is made up of gases which have been Water may have come to earth way of comets and asteroids.

Halley's fluke. In 1986 scientists got a chance to determine the origin of terrestrial The part of the comet's tail that we can see is mostly due to the sun's light of a comet, you wouldn't find it too difficult to just pick up a snowball Leave it up to the good ole Hubble Space Telescope. Amateur astronomers have discovered a lot of comets, and this one is no exception. FIREBALLS will light up the sky again tonight as the Orionid meteor We recommend heading out into the countryside on a clear night, There's no best place to look, so just find a nice open area with a wide view of the sky. Uneven heating can cause newly generated gases to break out of a weak spot on the surface of comet's nucleus, like a geyser. These streams of gas and dust can cause the nucleus to spin, and even split apart. In 2010 it was revealed dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) can power jets of material flowing out of a comet Collisions with asteroids, comets and other stuff from space have been Here are a few key areas where they're found, ordered their proximity to Earth.
