[漢羅] Pons-Brooks 彗星 出現 顛倒方向 ê 彗尾

是按怎 Pons-Brooks 彗星 這馬有一个顛倒方向 ê 彗尾？ 咱會當 tī 相片內底看著這个 足壯觀 ê 藍色 離子尾溜。 離子尾溜是去予 太陽風 直接 歕 出來–ê。 倒爿頂懸咧發光 ê 彼个，就是 彗星 12P/Pons–Brooks ê 中央彗鬚。 Ùi 彗鬚 湠出來 ê 塗粉尾溜 ê 形體 就敢若是一支葵扇，大部份是湠去倒爿。 塗粉尾溜 去予 日光 ê 輻射壓力 歕出來，速度是愈來愈慢，綴彗星 ê 軌道咧行。 Ùi 一寡角度來看，塗粉尾溜 kah 離子尾溜 就敢若 tī 顛倒方向。 這張 頂禮拜 tī Namibia 共合國 翕 ê 相片底部，有一粒遙遠明亮 ê 天兔座 Alpha 星。 2 工前，這粒彗星才拄行過 kah 地球 上近倚點，欲 轉去 外太陽系 矣。 伊這馬是愈來愈暗，若是欲看著伊，ùi 南半球會較好揣。

[English] Comet Pons-Brooks Develops Opposing Tails

Why does Comet Pons-Brooks now have tails pointing in opposite directions? The most spectacular tail is the blue-glowing ion tail that is visible flowing down the image. The ion tail is pushed directly out from the Sun by the solar wind. On the upper right is the glowing central coma of Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks. Fanning out from the coma, mostly to the left, is the comet’s dust tail. Pushed out and slowed down by the pressure of sunlight, the dust tail tends to trail the comet along its orbit and, from some viewing angles, can appear opposite to the ion tail. The distant, bright star Alpha Leporis is seen at the bottom of the featured image captured last week from Namibia. Two days ago, the comet passed its closest to the Earth and is now best visible from southern skies as it dims and glides back to the outer Solar System.
