//! # Comet module
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! This module models **comets** — small Solar System bodies on highly
//! eccentric orbits that develop a visible coma and tail when near the Sun.
//! Each comet is described by:
//! - a short human‑readable designation,
//! - an approximate dust/ion tail length,
//! - six Keplerian orbital elements with an epoch (see [`KeplerianOrbit`]), and
//! - a flag indicating whether elements are heliocentric or barycentric.
//!
//! | Constant | Designation | Reference frame | Period (yr) | Notes |
//! |----------|-------------|-----------------|-------------|-------|
//! | [`HALLEY`] | 1P/Halley | Heliocentric | 75.3 | Archetype of periodic comets |
//! | [`ENCKE`] | 2P/Encke | Heliocentric | 3.30 | Shortest‑period named comet |
//! | [`HALE_BOPP`] | C/1995 O1 | **Barycentric** | ~2 530 | Great comet of 1997 |
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! - [`Comet`] — runtime struct (lifetimed name, [`Kilometers`] tail, orbit, frame).
//! - [`OrbitFrame`] — enum discriminating heliocentric vs. barycentric elements.
//! - [`CometBuilder`] — builder for runtime construction.
//! - [`Comet::period_years`] — returns a typed [`Years`] value via Kepler's
//!   third law (`P = a^(3/2)` with `a` in AU, `P` in Julian years).
//!
