Mackaboo Universe › Worlds › The Comet
Moons and Mysteries pack · $1.99The Comet
A dirty snowball of ice and dust, with two tails that always point away from the Sun and jets of sparkly gas. In Mackaboo Universe, the pretend play space game for kids, the Comet has 4 places: Snowball Field, Comet Cabin, Tail Lookout and Bouncy Landing Pad.
Papaboo's facts about the Comet
Papaboo, who guides the crew, tells these from the corner of the map:
- A comet is a dirty snowball!
- A comet's tail points away from the Sun.
- Comets can have two tails!
- Halley's Comet comes every 76 years.
- Philae landed on a comet, and bounced!
Getting there
Fly here from the spaceship's map, on its Moons and Mysteries page, and fly back aboard from the Comet's own map. It is part of our own solar system, so nobody here is an alien; aliens who ride along wait aboard the spaceship.
