Comets – Exotic Visitors to the Solar System

October 15 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

$8

(VA) (Fairfax County Parks) (8-Adult) Comets are fascinating objects that make infrequent visits to our celestial neighborhood and don’t stay for long. Originating in the far reaches of the solar system as clumps of ice and dust, comets undergo a remarkable transformation as they approach the sun and are heated by its radiation. Join us in this one-hour class as we explore the life history of a comet and celebrate great comets of the past.

More Fairfax County nature programs can be found here.
