This subcommunity is dedicated to explore the topic of comets and their probable importance for life on Earth. This space will be populated with relevant tools and resources to help the construction of innovative and engaging scenarios related to comets and its exploration. This community is part of the ISE hangouts series devoted to Astronomy and Space Science. Each community has an associated hangout where Dr. Pamela Gay, renowed astronomer and educator interviews scientists involved in
This community brings together teachers who are using resources, virtual experiments and online labs from the fields of Astronomy and High Energy Physics (HEP).
