Seen here on June 13th from southern New Mexico, this Comet McNaught's long ion tail sweeps across the telescopic field of view (a negative image is inset).
这是6月13日新墨西哥南部所见,麦克·诺特的长离子尾扫过望远镜的视野,插图是负片。
Remarkably, the ion tail easily stretches past background star cluster NGC 1245 (upper left) in the constellation Perseus, about 1.5 degrees from the comet's lovely greenish head or coma.
明显地,离子彗尾轻易伸展至背景星团NGC 1245(上左)的前面,在飞马座,离彗星可爱的绿色彗头或彗发1.5度。
Radiation from the sun pushes dust particles away from the coma, forming a dust tail, while charged particles from the sun convert some of the comet's gases into ions, forming an ion tail.
从太阳而来的辐射,将尘埃粒子吹离彗发,形成尘埃彗尾;同时,来自太阳的带电粒子将一些彗星气体电离成离子,形成离子彗尾。
