“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
“When beggars die there are no comets seen;The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.”
William Shakespeare
“We were stunned when we got to the comet and saw incredible features - steep cliffs, overhanging cliffs, spires and many features which, oddly enough, we had never been seen on other Solar System bodies.”
Don Brownlee
“I had watched a dozen comets ... slowly creep across the sky as each one signed its sweeping flourish in the guest book of the Sun.”
David Levy
“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
“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
