“The Structured Tails of Comet NEOWISE” is copyrighted by Zixuan Lin (Beijing Normal U.). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet NEOWISE displays two distinct tails. The blue ion tail, made of charged particles, points directly away from the Sun, pushed by the solar wind. Its structure comes from varying rates of ion expulsion and the solar wind's complex nature. The dust tail, however, shows an unusual wavy structure, influenced by the comet's rotation and dust particle sizes.
