All about comets! From the ESA missions to personal observations, this subreddit is a hub for everything having to do with comets.
Welcome!
This subreddit is about Comets and we gather images, videos, and gifs of them and discuss news and related events about them.
Please feel free to post a picture that you've seen on the internet, or a picture that you've taken yourself! (We prefer you to host the picture using Imgur if possible.) If you've taken the picture yourself, please put [OC] in the title and it'll get special flair.
