ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Comets and planetoids have
been considered a part of the
Solar System. There is one theory
which suggests that comets may
be waste materials of the Solar
System, or leftovers after the
planetary system was formed.
Others think that great comets
may be material drawn in from
outside space. Perhaps the comets
were flying back and forth be
tween two stars until it became
so exhausted that one of the suns
was able to capture it.
At least we know that the solar
system now possesses a great
number of comets, who bow to
the mastery of our star and never
wander beyond the orbits of his
planets. There is nothing that will
lure them from the sun’s gravita
tional power.
Comets were looked upon by
people of early times in’a dread
ful, foreboding manner.
