Comets, Asteroids, and Meteors, Oh My!


Last week we were busy learning about all the planets our solar system has to offer, but this week we've moved on to other objects out there in space. We've learned that a comet is much like a dirty snowball, a asteroid is a minor planet, and that meteors come from meteoroids and can turn into meteorites. Here are a few great sites to visit on your journey through the asteroid belt and beyond!
