Gravity Demo Part 3 Comets

here is a another thing a little extra thing that you can do with this gravity equipment and let me show you a comet if you look up on the screen once again what's up on the screen is what you're seeing out in space there is a comet it has an elliptical orbit and as it gets closer and closer to the Sun it goes faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster zips around and then starts slowing down slowing down slowing down slowing down how would i nine explain something like that well let me get a picture of an elliptical orbit and once again although we can see this curvature of space-time over here if you were actually to look up on the screen actually look out in space you don't see that at all and so what I have is this supposing I try to stay on that blue line well it's gonna be a little hard for me to do so I won't even try but I'll give you the idea is that it goes fast fast fast fast if I were to look up at the screen over there I would see what looks like a commodore 'but fast fast fast fast
