Fun Comet Factoids!
  • Comets were once thought to be the bad guys of the universe--evil, wild-haired, homeless spirits that travelled the night skies looking for trouble.
  • The word "comet" derives from a Greek word meaning "long haired".
  • While a collision with a large comet might destroy the earth, the earth actually passed through the tail of Tebbutt's comet of 1861 and Halley's comet in 1910 without any noticeable consequences.
  • The tail follows a comet when the comet is approaching the sun. The tail precedes the comet as the comet travels away from the sun.
  • "God save us from the Devil, the Turk, and the comet!" was a common prayer in Europe when the comet of 1456 appeared in the sky.
