The ball of gas coma around the comets nucleus is brighter than the long, extended tail. A comet is a ball of ice and dust that orbits the Sun. As it passes near the Sun its surface evaporates, releasing a tail of dust and vapour that can be millions of kilometres in length. The tail always extends in the opposite direction to the Sun, whatever direction the comet is travelling in. HaleBopp was discovered on 23 July 1995 and was brightest over Earth in March 1997.
