“Exploring Comet Tails” is copyrighted by Joe Orman. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComets are famous for their tails, as seen with Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997 and Comet Hyakutake in 1996. These active comets provided researchers an opportunity to study their composition through their long tails. While they appear beautiful, recent discoveries from interplanetary experiments have revealed surprising readings about their tails.
