Comet & Star: A Story of Cosmic Friendship

A small star lives alone in a remote part of space until a comet appears. Their first encounter is short, yet it gives the star a sense of connection and hope. The comet continues its long orbit and returns periodically, allowing the two celestial bodies to become friends despite the distance between meetings. Their encounters occur once every seventy-six years. An author’s note gives information about Halley’s Comet.
