The tail always points away from the Sun, regardless of the comet's direction of travel, due to the solar wind and radiation pressure.

Mind-blowing! 
Just imagining a tail stretching millions of kilometers across space is wild. And the fact that it always points away from the Sun, no matter where the comet is headed—that's the power of the solar wind in action! Space never ceases to amaze.
