Comet ISON         Live Tracking       Mt. Lemon/UofA's Sky Tracker of ISON
Michael Jager of Jauerling, Austria captured this image of the comet on November 10, 2013. It clearly shows that the comet, as it has approached the sun, has two tails: an ion tail (composed of ionized gas molecules) and a dust tail (created by bits of dirt that have come off the comet's nucleus). The ion tail points directly away from the sun, but the dust tail doesn't. That is why you see the two tails as separate. Image via Michael Jager.
