Honourable mention

@kristin_365

porque son los viajeros del Sistema Solar, han estado en sitios que nosotros jamás seremos capaces de ver, ni imaginar

because they are the travelers of the Solar System, they have been in places we will never be able to see, or imagine

 

@Jrmluque

We have more questions than answers about comets. #coolcomet

 

@M__Lopez

me gusta pensar que es material que sublima al llegar cerca del sol, para dejarse ver… SUBLIME!

I like to think they are made of material that sublimes when approaches the Sun, to make itself visible… SUBLIME!

#coolcomet Ένας κομήτης που πέφτει είναι όμορφος όπως ένα γρήγορο αμάξι.Όμως το δεύτερο μόνο θα θελα να δω παρκαρισμένο έξω από το σπίτι μου

#coolcomet A comet passing by is as beautiful as a fast car. But I would like to see only the latter parked outside my house.

@EPenguin

#coolcomet Why are comets cool? Because they Oort to be! Tom & Dan from Mars Express

@cifvts

#coolcomet "I'm a comet and nobody can stop me! Gotta go, see you in a bit". I really hope to see you again :)

@LiiveToWiin

#coolcomet Kometen sind die größten Kunstwerke, die je entstanden sind! Da Vinci bekäme bei ihrem Anblick sicherlich Minderwer.komplexe!!

#coolcomet Comets are the biggest works of art ever! Da Vinci would certainly get inferiority complexes when looking at them!!
