"HALE-BOOP AND CALIFORNIA NEBULA"


The comets are big snow-balls composed by water and carbon. When they approach the sun their surface evaporates due to the warthm of the sun and their head gets diffuse. The tails are formed when the small pieces created in the proccess of evaporation are carried away by the wind of sun. The tails are always in contrary direction to the sun and there are usually two tails: one of they composed of dust (the yellow one) and the second is ionic (the blue one). Located to the right of the comet we can see a red spot which is the California Nebula, belonging to Perseo Constellation.
