Question
Discuss differences between an "ion" or "plasma" tail and a "dust" or "debris" tail. That particular comet from 2020 (Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE) won't return to the inner solar system for another 7,000 years! If you didn't get a chance to see that one, you may have a chance early in 2023, when another significant comet may be swinging through the inner solar system! Some comets actually only come through our solar system once, and then they are never able to return. Why is that??
