A Comet as seen in Space Stage.
Comets are a type of object found in star systems that appear in the Space Stage of Spore. Comets are naturally observable in the solar system zoom in the stage, however they cannot be interacted with and are made solely for visuals.
Terraforming tools like Ice Comet and Meteor Shower can be utilized to summon comets down onto a planet to modify its temperature.
