Equality Under the Law: Comet Neowise

Physicist and solar boat builder David Borton is back! Dr. Borton describes the comet Neowise, and the difference between comets and meteors, on a new episode of “Equality Under the Law: Practical Physics.” He and WOOC correspondent Meghan Marohn discuss how to discern the difference between comets and meteors in the night sky, why the moons of Jupiter create a glowing straight line in the night sky, and how to socially distance with a canoe paddle.
