Fly-by of Comet Sets NASA Astir

Summary: This intresting article is about the pictures of a new fly-by commet that the high-speed-antenna caught and sent toward Earth. It tells about the new hope that NASA has into discovering how the planets were formed. The commet was named Epoxy, which is a combination of two acronyms which are Epoch and Dixie. It also tells the main reason why they study commets, which is to find out how each Planet was formed.

Reaction: I think that it's really cool that they have an idea to find out how each of the nine planets was formed, it got me excited just the thought of finally knowing how Planet Earth got to be what it is now. I hope it works.
