There is an article published in National geographic daily news, published on 19/October/2010, about the Green comet. Link to this site is :http://kidsblogs.nationalgeographic.com/kidsnews/2010/10/the-green-comet-visits-Earth.
This green comet called Hartley 2 was visible from Earth to the naked eye on October 20th. This comet is the size of a mountain and it appears to be green because it is composed of a mixture of ice and dust. Comet Hartley 2 orbits the sun every 6.5 years, but it is almost never visible from Earth because Jupiter is between the comet and the Earth. This is why it is such a big thing now that the comet was seen.
This article is very interesting for me because I never knew a green comet exists.
