Comets and Meteors™
Welcome
to the Comets and Meteors page. Here you will
see several examples of the comets that periodically fly
by our little corner of the universe. You�ll also
see the meteors we call �shooting stars�. While
the comets that traverse our universe appear in a variety
of shapes, with tails that are often bright and spectacular�meteors
have more defined and consistent shapes, and their tails
appear in varying lengths.
While
comets are deep space objects that only pass by our planet
periodically, one or more meteors are a common night sky
event�just about every night�in all parts of our world.
Meteors are bits of interstellar material that enter our
atmosphere and, more often than not, burn up and fully disintegrate
from the searing heat they create on entry. While
you may only see the occasional �shooting star�, during
major meteor showers, it is possible to see hundreds of
fast moving meteors each hour.
All
of my Comets and Meteors can be scaled to fit any
design theme, from full size major features, that captivate
the imagination, to scaled-down enhancements seen at a distance
or close-up.
