Comet

A comet is a bright light in the sky that has a long tail. It is a piece of rock or ice that travels through space, and if it gets close to the sun it warms up so parts of it are carried away, creating the long, glowing tail. It is said that the Three Wise Men from the East followed a shining comet to find baby Jesus.
