Presented by Richard Bell\, President of the Kalamazoo Astro nomical Society

\n

Comets are made up of some of the original materia l from which the solar system formed. Orbiting far from the Sun\, this pri mordial material has survived in an unaltered state for billions of years. When a comet nucleus is gravitationally drawn into the inner solar system it begins to heat up.

\n

The volatile materials from which it is mad e boil off to form the head and tail(s) that have amazed\, baffled\, and f rightened people throughout history. This tremendous light show is produce d from just the small solid nucleus measuring only 1 to 20 miles in diamet er. Think of it as a large dirty snowball! Help Richard Bell make an accur ate model of a comet nucleus by using common household items (and a little dry ice) and learn a little something in the process. It’s fun\, messy\, and one of the most memorable and scientifically accurate demonstrations i n astronomy.
