A hypothetical astronomical object or phenomenon that opposes or counteracts the properties of a comet.
Formed from the prefix 'anti-' (meaning against or opposite) combined with 'comet' from Greek 'kometes' meaning 'long-haired star.' This is a theoretical or speculative term not widely established in scientific literature.
This word is so obscure that it barely exists in modern usage—it's the kind of term that might have been imagined in 19th-century speculative fiction when astronomers were discovering surprising celestial objects and needed words for things that might be comet-like but opposite.
