Resuming your biology lesson, please note that the nucleus of most cells averages about 5 ìm (.005 mm) in diameter, and that it is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, a double membrane made of proteins and lipids that separates it from the cytoplasm, as Contexo.Info says.
Nucleus, as in physics, is the core of an atom that contains protons and neutrons and thus contains almost all of the atom's mass.
Comet nucleus is the solid core of a comet; galaxy nucleus is the central region of a galaxy; ice nucleus, the centre of an ice crystal; sentence nucleus is the syllable which receives the greatest stress in a word; and Nucleu s is also a British jazz-rock band led by Ian Carr.

 CONTOUR (Comet Nucleus Tour)
A Discovery Program mission that was to have taken images and comparative spectral maps of the nuclei of at least three comets and analyzed the dust flowing from them.
Launched in July 2002, CONTOUR was to have flown past Comet Encke at a distance of about 100 kilometers (60 miles) in November 2003, before moving on to similar encounters with Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 in June 2006 and Comet d'Arrest in August 2008.
However, it appears that the spacecraft broke into at least two pieces following the rocket burn that took it out of Earth orbit and the mission is now lost.

The resultant nucleus is smaller in mass than the sum of the ones that made it; the difference in mass is converted into energy by the equation E=mc
Concerns itself with the structure and behavior of the atomic nucleus according quantum mechanics and particle physics; with practical applications in the working of nuclear reactors, radioactive fission, and fusion burning in the interior of stars.

 The Nine Planets Glossary
the dust and gas surrounding an active comet's nucleus
English astronomer who applied Newton's laws of motion to historical comet data and predicted correctly the reappearance of the comet which now bears his name.
The result of this work was a theory, now widely accepted, that the Sun is surrounded by a distant cloud of comet-stuff, now called the Oort cloud, bits of which are occasionally hurled into the solar system as comets.

Every so often these objects are visible to the naked eye as brilliant streaks of light across the sky.
Meteors appear regularly and are sometimes called "shooting stars"; comets show themselves with far less frequency.
