Welcome to Stardusts Kids Ask Captain Comet Dear Mike, A comet is a small icy body that orbits the sun in large highly elliptical orbits Comets spend most of their time in the cold outer solar system, but occasionally travel into the warm inner solar system They consist of very small rocky cores, surrounded by a coma of ice, gas, and dust When a comet approaches the sun, its heat causes the gas and ice to vaporize and form a bright

C 1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) - NASA Solar System Exploration Comet Hale-Bopp (C 1995 O1) was discovered on 23 July 1995 by two independent observers, Alan Hale (Cloudcroft, N M ) and Thomas Bopp (Stanfield, AZ), and is showing potential of putting on a spectacular display as it nears its 1997 perihelion The image above was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, and shows material ejected from the rotating comet in a "pinwheel" pattern
