It is the Halley comet. It only refects back 3% of sunlight falling on
it. I think its main body is made of porous rock,and held together by ice glue. When Halley is near the sun this glue melts,and Halley's core of water ice,ammonia,CO2 (iron,and rock) that make up the dust it accumulates going through space. All these elements and compounds that it releases sling shooting around the sun,it recharges itself within the 76 years before it returns. The density of its core is low because it is very porous.I see it acting like a sponge. Comets go from cold to hot. Comets pick up like a dust mop what is the smallest specks in space. They come and go from one end of the solar system to the sun.. They can tell us a lot,and someday we will put a TV camera on them Bert |

Are you sure about this?
Way I see it, comets are constantly shrinking. Without much gravity, high energy collision will probably cause more things to be release than gathered though perhaps it can gather other object at expense of common part of comet.
