English: Recent changes in Comet Lulin's greenish coma and tails are featured in this two panel comparison of images taken on January 31st (top) and February 4th. Taken from dark New Mexico Skies, the images span over 2 degrees. In both views the comet sports an apparent antitail at the left -- the comet's dust tail appearing almost edge on from an earth-based perspective as it trails behind in Lulin's orbit. Extending to the right of the coma, away from the Sun, is the ion tail. As captured in the bottom panel, Lulin's ion tail became disconnected on February 4, likely buffeted and torn away by magnetic fields in the solar wind |
