...crucial: the only reason a comet is visible at all is that its tiny core, just a few miles across, is surrounded by a giant cloud of gas and dust that can spread over a million miles. The cloud spews from the comet itself, as the sun's heat turns its dirty, icy surface into dirty water vapor mixed with other gases.

The first visit may only loosen the crust, while later trips allow...

While the men grapple with macro-finances of the M-1 variety, it falls...
