Comets have a nucleus, which is the main body of the comet. They have a coma, which is the glowing part around the nucleus, the red ribbon. Then they have two tails: a dust tail and a gas tail—the gold and silver ribbons. Follow the instuctions below to make your comet. Photos: spaceplace.nasa.gov In this activity from the NASA Space Place website, you’ll make your own comet that can fly around the room! You’ll need: • chopsticks or a popsicle stick • 3 different ribbons (gold, silver, red) • scissors and aluminum foil Space Search Cut five pieces of ribbon: two long pieces, two medium-size pieces, and one short red piece. Tie your ribbons around the end of your chopsticks or popsicle stick. Visit the NASA Space Place at spaceplace.nasa.gov Cut three pieces of tin foil so they’re roughly square shaped. Gather the foil around the end of the stick. Form the foil into a ball while keeping the ribbon tail off to the side. Repeat with two more sheets of foil. Hold your comet on a stick and fly it around the room! For more ideas, visit the NASA Space Place online.
