I love artists, God bless their little pointed heads. And, I wonder what "scientist", probably not any, oversaw this artist's rendition of that thing in space. Boys and girls, since most of ya don't know shit about science, let me 'splain somethin' to ya in terms you'll understand...
Things don't BURN in space. Their ain't no AIR in space. Ya needs AIR to burn stuff (actually, OXYGEN, but now I'm a-gettin' too complicated fer ya). Those there things that fall outten the sky don't "burn" until they enter the Earth's atmosphere, er, AIR. Actually, they don't really "burn" then either, it's just the result of friction (I'm not 'splainin' that to ya). Comets don't burn neither. That stuff that ya see a-comin' offen them is gas and small bits of the comet, not fire.
Now don't jump ahead on me, Jimmy Joe. STARS DON'T BURN EITHER. They make heat and light by nucular fusion. Yeah, nucular. I know that sounds like magic, but that's the way God made it.
Now go on back to watchin' yer reality shows.
