Comet en
The Comet Type falls within the Astronomy Domain. The Comet Type is a Compound Value Type and includes all the properties, though some are not meaningful for the Comet Type, of the Celestial Object Type. Five comets, as of November 2007, are also cross-listed as asteroids and therefore include the Asteroid Type. [ - ]
