What Are Our Goals?

• To learn more about comets, asteroids, and meteoroids

• To have fun while learning

• To help you get an A+ on your homework

This is a comet, a ball of ice and dust orbiting the sun just like our planets do. They take thousands to millions of years to make one full orbit around the sun. If you look into a strong telescope you may even see one!

This is an asteroid, a rock from the asteroid belt. Asteroids lay between Mars and Jupiter, they can be easily spotted with a telescope.

What Is A Meteoroid

A meteoroid is a rock that floats in space, when it enters the Earths atmosphere is become a meteor, and when it lands on Earth's crust it is now a meteorite.
