“The comet is mostly empty,”
Michael A'Hearn
“The comet is mostly empty, mostly porous. Probably all the way in, there is no bulk ice. The ice is all in the form of tiny grains.”
“When we see comets up in the sky they're really spectacular. But unless you get close to a comet, you can't really figure out what's going on.”
Joseph Veverka
“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me- ever.”
Jim Morrison
“When beggars die there are no comets seen;The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”
William Shakespeare
“We want an ensemble of stars, not comets.”
Rudolf Bing
“I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor. . . but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.”
Tycho Brahe
