This article is a stub, meaning that it should be expanded. You can help the Holocron by adding to it.


A comet is a small-sized celestial body often travelling along an elliptical and very long orbit in a star system. Comets can also travel along straight paths in deep space, but if they go near a gravity field of another medium- to large-sized body they can be attracted and impact on their surface or their path can bend and become elliptical.

There is not consesus on a sharp distinction between comets and asteroids.
