Comets: Crash Course Astronomy #21

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today on Crash Course Astronomy, Phil explains comets. Comets are chunks of ice and rock that orbit the Sun. When they get near the Sun the ice turns into gas, forming the long tail, and also releases dust that forms a different tail. We-ve visited comets up close and found them to be lumpy, with vents in the surface that release the gas as ice sublimates. Eons ago, comets (and asteroids) may have brought a lot of water to Earth

I watch your wonderful videos before I sleep, hoping to dream of the stars and the universe. Of course Phil is narrating the voyage hahaha so its less scary to be in the -unknown-. Phil is just so cheerful and enthusiastic that even if your about to get sucked in by a black hole he would probably have a great explanation for it, and you'll still be okay! Thank you for making videos that expands our comprehension of reality! Really deeply appreciate it. --

Can someone explain? Since I was a child, I never found the hypothesis of -life came from space- to be remarkable. Nearly all element that make up the earth, and us, were created in stars. Whether those elements combined into amino acids on earth or elsewhere makes little difference, because we are all star-stuff anyway. So what-s the big deal?

The Great Daylight comet of 1910 showed up right before Halley's. They thought the Daylight Comet was Hailleys. It wasn't but the former was so bright people thought it was going to hit us. This is the comet of the movie -The Omen-.

The comets' orbits get longer every perihelion because outgassing is like a natural thruster burn. Because of the Oberth Effect, their aphelions get higher, eventually reaching escape velocity.

Here's a list of the comments on this video:
A) people praising Phil because he's awesome
2) people complaining that he said A then 2 in his list at the end

since the earth is basically a terarrium with the sons of Adam occupying it they probably just burn out on the outer limits of the ice belt wall Pope Francis
