NOTE 1: The two tails form a 90 degree angle.

Hale-Bopp's small size, in comparison to Hyakutake last years, for instance, is explained
away by DISTANCE. It's supposed to be FAR AWAY. But is it? If a man stands but 20
feet from you, and there is a light behind you and a light at his right side, you will see a
shadow behind him and a shadow to his left, at a 90 degree angle. Put this same man 40
feet further out, and you will still see the shadow behind him, but the shadow to the side
will be at a sharper angle, closer to 45 degrees than 90. Each incremental step back comes
close to halving that angle, until far enough out the shadows from both are
indistinguishable.

NOTE 2: The ion tail is pointing away from the Sun, horizontal as viewed from Earth at this time. The dust tail is trailing the orbit, vertical as viewed from Earth at this time.

The shift of the Earth from morning to evening does not put it into a different perspective, a
different angle, to the current comet being called Hale-Bopp. The Earth, Sun, and comet
are ALL in the same place, but the lens you are viewing the comet with has CHANGED
from morning to evening, due to being baked by the Sun during the day. In the morning, the
air you are looking through is relatively cool, and thus you see the dust tail without the
turbulence caused by warm air in motion. You note THIS tail, as it is the more dramatic,
mentally screening out the other. In the evening, the light from the dust tail is scattered, but
the light from the icon tail, composed of different light particles due to its different nature,
cuts through the air turbulence more effectively. You now note THIS tail, as the only one
you can easily see, mentally screening out the other.

NOTE 3: The icon tail, horizontal as viewed from Earth, is always and instantaneously pointing away from the Sun due to its sensitivity to the Solar Wind.

The path of the comet currently being called Hale-Bopp is supposed to be OUTSIDE of
Earth's orbit, closer to the orbit of Mars or even beyond. Put yourself above the Solar
System, looking down, directly above the Sun so that the orbit of Mars, the orbit of Earth,
the Sun, and the stated position of the comet currently being called Hale-Bopp are within
your imaginary sights. Since this comet is dropping, the dust trail is not relevant to our
point. IT IS THE ION TAIL THAT TELLS THE TALE. Draw a line from the Sun through
the point where the comet currently being called Hale-Bopp is supposed to be positioned.
Draw a line from Earth through this comet position. What angle should that tail pointing
away from Earth be? IS it at that angle?

NOTE : 4 The ion tail does NOT appear to be on a proper angle for the comet placement as given by NASA and JPL et al.

Here's the rub! Is this a big comet far away or a SMALL COMET MUCH CLOSER! Take
the drawing done in the exercise above. Move the comet around, closer to Earth, until the
angle you SEE for the ion tail is appropriate for BOTH the Sun's angle and the angle from
Earth. Less dramatic than Hyakutake? Smaller beyond reason from what was being touted
in 1995? Has a different orbit, suddenly, from the 4.200 year cycle Jim Scotti was just
defending not a month ago to one now stated to be 2,380 years? Why?
In order to connect the dots from the nova in 1995 to the comet the Hubble and NEAT
programs had spied (they see them dark and moving, where amateurs spot them lighted up
and moving), the orbit had to be reasonable to make the stretch. This was the paper orbit
published during 1995 and 1996. However, this comet currently being called Hale-Bopp
was not so convenient as to have the same orbit! Thus the dramatic changes just of late.
