Re: Comet Tails or Tales
Another point, even from space, if the tail of a comet is actually made up of matter moving away from it, why isn't there a shadow of the comet on the tail? Furthermore, why is anything visible in the shadow of the comet itself? Imagine a plume of dust or anything coming off the dark side of the moon. It should be invisble on the dark side of the comet as well.
I say again, the only explanation is an optical illusion caused by the Ice cloud co-orbing the sun with the comet.
