Often characterized as an electric jeepney (e-jeep) in the Philippines, the City Optimized Managed Electric Transport (COMET) was designed specifically to fulfill the public transportation needs of Metro Manila, as a potential replacement for traditional open-air jeepneys, which are also noted as a major contributor to air pollution in the metropolis.
A washing machine (laundry machine, clothes washer, washer, or simply wash) is a machine designed to launder clothing. Modern-day home appliances use electric power to automatically clean clothes. The term is mostly applied to machines that use water as opposed to dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids and is performed by ...
Halley's Comet is the only known short-period comet that is consistently visible to the naked eye from Earth, [16] appearing every 72–80 years. [17] It last appeared in the inner parts of the Solar System in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061. Officially designated 1P/Halley, it is also commonly called Comet Halley, or sometimes simply Halley.

12P/Pons–Brooks is a periodic comet with an orbital period of 71 years. [9] Comets with an orbital period of 20–200 years are referred to as Halley-type comets.It is one of the brightest known periodic comets, reaching an absolute visual magnitude of about 5 in its approach to perihelion. [2]
C/2014 UN 271 is the second-largest known comet, being only behind 95P/Chiron. Radio thermal emission measurements by the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in 2021 estimate a maximum diameter of 137 ± 17 km (85 ± 11 mi) for C/2014 UN 271 's nucleus, assuming negligible contamination of the nucleus's thermal emission by an unseen dust coma ...
The Community of Metros Benchmarking Group ( COMET ), formerly CoMET and Nova groups, is a multinational collection of metro systems focusing on international benchmarking, facilitated by the Transport Strategy Centre (TSC) at Imperial College London.
