Shooting Stars by RateMyScreensaver.com is a free screensaver with 20 high-resolution images of comets, small bodies that orbit the Sun and exhibit a coma and/or tail in the solar system.
For those unfamiliar with comets, they are small celestial bodies that orbit the sun and exhibit a coma and/or a tail. This is primarily due to the effects of solar radiation on the comet's nucleus, which is composed of rock, dust, and ice. Comets' orbits are constantly changing, and they can be highly perturbed by close approaches to major planets.
Thankfully, you don't need a degree in astrophysics to appreciate the beauty of these fascinating objects. Simply sit back and enjoy the stunning images in this slideshow screensaver. All 20 images were provided by NASA and the ESA, so you can be sure of their quality and accuracy.
So, if you want to bring a touch of the cosmos to your computer screen, download Shooting Stars today!
