Overview
Comets are icy, small solar system bodies that, when passing close to the Sun, warm and begin to release gases, a process called outgassing, displaying a visible coma (a fuzzy atmosphere) and sometimes a tail. They are crucial remnants from the early Solar System, providing insights into its composition and formation.
Current status
Comets is currently classified as Dormant. Dormant means there has been no significant new coverage recently.
