SCIENCE ARTICLES ADVERTISEMENTS SCIENTI-TALES PAGE 24 SCIENCE ARTICLES OF INTEREST COMETS... Scientists disagree regarding the composition of a Comet. Some say it is just hot molten fragment, others say it is a hot gaseous mass. Some Comets are extremely large, others being so small as to hardly be noticeable. It has been definitely proved that Comets have their own tremendous orbits covering trillions of miles of inter-galactic space. Haley's triumtailed Comet appears but once in seventy-five years. Others soon to appear but once and never return, but in actuality their orbits are of such tremendous range that it may take thousands of years to complete it. The tail of the Comet is not always gas, most of it is light catching up to mass which is traveling at tremendous speed. METEORS Meteors are usually fragments of the asteroids which wandered off and were pulled in by the gravitational attraction of the Earth. They are sometimes incorrectly called shooting stars. It has been proven that the Earth's atmosphere is bombarded by millions of these Meteors daily, most of them no larger than a dust particle. It is estimated that possibly one in every two million ever come anywhere near the ground. A all the size of your fist, might have been as big as a house when it first struck the atmosphere. The Meteor that struck Arizona ages ago must have been in the vicinity of several hundred miles across when it struck the atmosphere. -----o---O---o------ SCIENTIPHOTOS by J.G. [Portrait of H.G.
