COMETS
Andy heard from his friends that a comet was coming. He knew that a comet was a space rock. Space rocks seemed exciting. He wanted to watch it at night. All he had to do was go outside and watch. That was easy enough.
That night, he put on a jacket and went outside. He looked around. He saw the moon, but he did not see anything else. There were only a couple clouds, so that was not the problem. He could see some stars, but nothing new or special. Where was the comet?
He called his friend on the phone. They talked about it. His friend told him where to look, but he still didn’t see it. What was going on? Was he not special enough to see it? Were his eyes going bad? What was he doing wrong?
Andy went to get his dad. Together, they looked up in the sky where it was supposed to be. Finally, after several minutes of looking, he saw a fuzzy thing, brighter and bigger than a star, but nowhere near what he expected.
“I thought it’d be like an extra moon or something.” Andy complained.
“It’s not big enough for that, and it still might be very far away.” Dad explained.
“I still wish I could see it better.”
Dad nodded and went inside. When he came back out, he had a telescope. Together, they focused in and saw the comet a little better. It wasn’t much, but it helped.
“What else can we see?” Andy wondered.
Dad smiled and aimed the telescope over at the moon instead. That was cool. Seeing the craters and the details of the moon up closer was nice.
Astronomy was interesting. Andy made sure to read more about it at school!
31. What was Andy excited to see in the sky?
A. rainbows B. clouds C. the moon D. a comet
32. What problem did Andy have when he tries to look at the comet?
A. There were too many and he couldn’t find the right one.
B. He couldn’t see it.
C. It was too bright to see anything.
D. The sky was very cloudy.
33. When he couldn’t find the comet, what did Andy do first?
A. Called a friend B. Asked dad for help
C. Got a telescope D. Checked the Internet
34. When he still couldn’t find the comet, what did Andy do next?
A. Called a friend B. Asked dad for help
C. Got a telescope D. Checked the Internet
35. When he was disappointed by the comet, what did Andy’s father show Andy?
A. constellations B. a planet C. the moon D. a comet
