k Comet 29P SchwassmannWachmann Comet 29PSchwassmannWachmann, timelapse montage. These seven images moving left to right show the comet during an outburst in June and July 2013. Comets are bodies of ice and dust that enter the inner solar system from the outer solar system. As they approach the Sun, the ice boils, producing a coma around the nucleus and a tail behind it. Image dates are 16 June, 18 June, 21 June, 1 July, 5 July, 22 July, and 28 July. This comet was discovered on 15 November 1927. It is unusual in that it brightens during outbursts around 7 times a year. It is part of a new class of objects called centaurs, orbiting between Jupiter and Neptune. Stock Photo - Afloimages
