*@short A subclass of KSPlanetBase that implements comets.

*The orbital elements are stored as private member variables, and
*it provides methods to compute the ecliptic coordinates for any
*time from the orbital elements.
*
*The orbital elements are:
*@li JD Epoch of element values
*@li q perihelion distance (AU)
*@li e eccentricity of orbit
*@li i inclination angle (with respect to J2000.0 ecliptic plane)
*@li w argument of perihelion (w.r.t. J2000.0 ecliptic plane)
*@li N longitude of ascending node (J2000.0 ecliptic)
*@li Tp time of perihelion passage (YYYYMMDD.DDD)
