Meteors made up its eyes, comets formed its hair.

One theory is that comets formed at the same time as the planets of the solar system.

If comets formed within fairly uniform interstellar clouds, Yanaka (1988r) might have been born in an unusual region of such a cloud.

The findings suggest materials from the inner regions of the solar system could have traveled to the outer reaches where comets formed.

Instead, they needed high temperatures to form, as well as complex and as yet little understood dynamical processes to end up where comets actually formed.

Stars and comets formed an endless rainbow path back into the past.

We have the stuff that was there when comets were forming.

"We now know where these short-period comets formed, and we now have a context for their role in the solar system's evolution."

The comet and its induced magnetic field form an obstacle to outward flowing solar wind particles.

Analysis showed the comet formed 4.5 billion years ago from volatiles (mainly ice) that had condensed onto interstellar dust particles.
