The most beautiful and impulsive celestial object perceptible in the night or morning sky is the ‘Comet.’ Most of the time, Comets remain in deep-frozen “sleep” in outer space, but sporadically they are dislodged from their orbits and fall forward the inner Solar System. Comets are at their brightest when they are closest to the Sun. It is best to search for them in the sky unswervingly after sunset although never when the Sun is still above the horizon.
