One more movie of the demise of Kreutz comet MAPS, showing the dust cloud feature emerging on the “wrong” – i.e. not following the comet's orbital motion – side of the Sun. You can see nice striations in the remaining dust / gas cloud.

The same thing in movies of SOHO LASCO C2 (orange) and C3 (blue). Source of both movies: https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/mpeg/ #Comet #CometMAPS #MAPS #Kreutz #Astrodon #SOHO #LASCO
