Comet Arend-Roland Reveals Dual Tails Mystery
Pasadena scientists report a comet with two tails during its recent pass. Observers note a headlight-like jet pointing toward the sun alongside a traditional tail, with speculation that solar proximity exhausted the jet material. Closest approach was 36 million miles from the sun and 50 million miles from Earth. Arend-Roland may return after 10 000 to 100 000 years or never again.
