Epi 91: The story of the flashing green comet that's come back to visit us after 50,000 years

Full Episode description

Comets come and go about a dozen times in a year without much fanfare. But a green comet that's flashing its pretty smile at us, is causing much celebration around the world. There are excellent reasons why each one of us should look into our night skies to say hello to this comet. To begin with, how often do you get to meet something that's last met Neanderthals roaming the face of this earth. 

In this episode with fifth grader Luptha from Ohio and seventh grader Aadya from Kolkata, we explore the story of this comet and its origins. 

'Why are people scared of comets?', 'Do comets really grow tails?' and 'Who uses telescopes for the most part?' – you can find answers to these questions and more, in this fun and interesting conversation.
