Hi Double-A Yes the classical theory is the comet gives off gases
because the Sun's heat heats up the dirty snow ball. This is wrong. This
is bad thinking. Temple-1 will prove it is not a dirty snow ball.
Temple-1 has a tail and gives off little gas. The theory you are quoting
could never make in reality a 100,000,000 mile comet tail from a object
with a diameter of only say 10 miles. Solar wind has great electrical
power created by trillions,and trillions of charged particles that are
moving at over 2 million miles an hour. They stream past this this
object as it comes in one side of the Sun and we view this tail as in
back of the head. It comes around the other side,and we view it as the
tail being in front of the head(like the head is now trying to catch its
tail.) Nothing has changed the solar wind is still blowing in
front(always in front) It is not all that tricky. No comet
gases to make the tail. The great solar wind makes asteroids that move
in great elliptical orbits have solar wind tails,and we call them
comets. One look at Temple-1 is all I needed to bring this
thought that I had for so many years to light Beert
