The phenomenon, known as an anti-tail, is an optical illusion caused by the Earth's position in the comet's orbital plane.

            I don’t want a lower file size. I’ll take quality any day. I just didn’t want to wait for my poor mobile connection to load it this time.

          Psssht. That’s not even that bad these days. Go try getting that file on a 14.4 baud connection.
