Features to Look For in the Tail

In general, plasma tails show the most detail, although this is better revealed in images than with the eye alone. Dust tails , on the other hand, reflect sunlight in the region of the spectrum to which the human eye is more sensitive, but are often intrinsically faint and tend to be rather featureless. Nevertheless, comet tails (like comets themselves!) show a great degree of variation and sometimes surprise us not only with the degree of detail displayed but by the rapid way in which this can change from night to night or even over shorter periods of time.
