{{refimprove|date=November 2012}}{{inline|date=November 2012}}In [[Fireworks|pyrotechnics]] a '''comet''' is a block attached to the outside of a [[shell (projectile)|shell]] or launched freely, which burns and emits sparks as the shell is rising, leaving a trail in the sky. Some comets use a matrix composition with small [[pyrotechnic star|stars]] embedded in it. The matrix composition burns with little light but ignites the stars, producing the effect. Some freely-launched comets contain [[crossette]] breaks, which explode and break the comet into pieces to produce a branching effect. |

In pyrotechnics a comet is a block attached to the outside of a shell or launched freely, which burns and emits sparks as the shell is rising, leaving a trail in the sky. Some comets use a matrix composition with small stars embedded in it. The matrix composition burns with little light but ignites the stars, producing the effect. Some freely-launched comets contain crossette breaks, which explode and break the comet into pieces to produce a branching effect.
