Comet videos
(i.e., Comet
videos):
- Halley's Comet Orbital Path | 0:26:
Halley's comet does indeed have
a clockwise
and very
elliptical orbit
as viewed from above the NCP side of
ecliptic plane.
Because of clockwise direction,
the orbit
is a retrograde orbit
(i.e., a retrograde orbit
in 3-dimensional space).
Halley's comet may, of course,
have apparent retrograde motion too
sometimes.
The music is
Beethoven's Pathetique Piano Sonata No. 8, Opus 13 in C minor, Part II, Adagio cantabile.
Short enough for classroom.
- Hale Bopp Timlapse | 0:33:
Comet Hale-Bopp was a bright
comet of
1996--1997.
The films, maybe from
2 different
nights,
are time-lapsed
Comets
of very high apparent brightness
are called great comets.
In 1996, we had
2
great comets,
Comet Hyakutake
and Comet Hale-Bopp,
and none since really.
Short enough for classroom
- Orbits and closeups of Hale Bopp, Halley
and some other comets | 2:41:
Probably all pretty accurate.
There's piano
music by
Frederic Chopin (1810--1849).
Too long for the classroom, but
one can scroll through a few seconds here and there.
- Comet Shoemaker Levy colliding with Jupiter | 0:35
From the European Space Agency's
film 15 Years of Discovery.
It's an animation of course.
Note the Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9
impactors
hit the nightside
of Jupiter ♃
starting
1994
Jul16
(see Wikipedia:
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9: Impacts).
Short enough for the classroom.
- Visualization of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 Impacting Jupiter:
From the National Geographic | 2:30:
Some artistic license was used
since the
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9
impactors
hit the nightside
of Jupiter ♃
starting
1994
Jul16
(see Wikipedia:
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9: Impacts).
Too long for the classroom.
- Deep Impact (8/10) Movie CLIP -
The Comet Hits Earth (1998) HD | 2:29:
Not for the faint of heart.
NOT suitable for the classroom.
