This tool emits particles from a designated object. It can be used to simulate things such a comet emitting debris.
Create an object.
Click the 
Source tool on the Particles tab.
The 
particle system will attach itself to the object you have selected.
Click 
play to see the particles.
For specific parameter help, see the Source node help.
