    So this seemed so very cool that I wanted to learn more. There were a few problems, however. The direction of Nishimura is traveling opposite to what this video shows. I eventually found this video is from Comet Encke back in 2007 as observed by STEREO-A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Encke\_tail\_rip\_off.ogv

    Well I can’t be that mad even though I was tricked because this is a really cool video and I learned some new things. Nishimura did go through a tail disconnection event. But buyer beware, eh?

      Thank you for the correction. The article I sourced this from was misleading. I’ve edited the title.
