Comet research is a scientific field that focuses on studying comets, which are small celestial bodies made up of ice, rock, and dust that orbit the sun. Researchers in this field use a combination of observational data from telescopes and spacecraft, as well as computer simulations, to study the composition, structure, and behavior of comets. This research is important for understanding the formation and evolution of the solar system, as comets are thought to be remnants from the early stages of its formation. Additionally, studying comets can provide insights into the origins of water and organic molecules on Earth.
