Now what are your thoughts?

My thoughts are that the Oort Cloud can provide an effectively limitless supply of comets and meteor showers, and while the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter doesn't contain nearly as much material, it will continue to be an additional meteor source for as long as we're on this planet.

We really need to get serious about developing a dedicated, systematic early-warning system to detect large objects which might collide with the Earth and develop a means of deflecting large incoming bodies. We have the basis for a detection system, but absolutely no R&D underway that I know of to deflect large incoming meteors and comets. Meteor strikes are a true existential threat, and the best evidence at hand is that they have already caused several mass extinction events in the Earth's history.

If even a fraction of the billions being squandered by the US on investments in bogus "green" technologies was diverted to the far more important issue of meteor and comet strikes, we'd actually be doing something which might someday save the planet. Of course, preventing extinction by comet strike doesn't provide the opportunities for increasing government control of private-sector businesses and individuals that the global-warming cult does.

Hopefully we get at least some kind of light show out of it! ;)

The question was directed at the comet's departing-the-Sun "tail" that is actually ahead of the comet on its course out and away from the Sun.
This differs from the "tail" being behind the comet on the inbound path, and it's different when the comet swings around the Sun and the "tail" is blown out away from the comet to its "Side".
I'm guessing that because the duration of the comets "tail" being blown ahead of it on the outbound path and in conjunction with the velocity of the moving comet toward the direction of that "Tail", that the mass of the outbound tail would gather more material than the inbound "tail".
And therefore it would cause more "Shooting Stars" when the Earth travels through that "tail".
But that's a wild guess.

Well cripplecreek is a pretty smart guy, but I’m with you on this one. If there are large asteroids we can see then, given the nature of the Asteroid belt, there are smaller ones we can’t see. So maybe the larger ones are a million miles apart but the smaller one could be closer 100’s-1,000’s maybe? I know we have sent missions into the asteroid belt but not many missions and the missions have been to very large asteroids that have probably swept their orbits clean of the little rocks. Beer time, later all.

The Dawn spacecreft has been traveling in the asteroid bet for a few years now.

Same thing with current attempts to locate smaller earth sized planets orbiting other star systems...We already knew with current technology the first to be detected/discovered would be the Jupiter++ size/class planets due to the size factors.

Unfortunately, as you're probably aware, due to technology restraints, we can only see or detect so far out. It's too bad, as I am confident there are probably tens of billions of earth like planets/planets where life could exist in this universe.

Damn and all these years I have been lied to by astronomers who have told me that the comets tail (debris field in the making) is mostly dust and ice crystals. I didn’t think a proton or neutron would be big enough to light up the sky with shooting stars as happens when the Earth passes thru a comets debris field. Oh and by debris field I am not referring to the tail itself, just the left over stuff on the orbital path the comet took, I figure that if it was big enough to make a shooting star it had to have had a bunch of atoms in it.

Is not the tail pulled out by gravity in advance of the comet body?

Well given billions (trillions?) of galaxies with billions of stars it is hard to argue against the numbers. But it takes a lot of things happening at exactly the right time to make an Earth. Planets with life might not be all that rare, but planets with intelligent complex life IMHO will be much much rarer. I would not be surprise if we were in fact unique in the Milky Way.

From what I understand it is the solar wind that causes the tail and that is why it points away from he sun. It is like a fog of ice and other small particles.

That space craft is targeting two large asteroids, Vesta and Ceres...Dawn will never see or cover that entire region as it’s massive...Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. We can only estimate the number of large asteroids and those estimates for 1 kilometer sized asteroids are estimated to be well over a million now. The number of objects the size of homes or buildings are probably into the tens of millions.

And lets remember, not all asteroids are located within the belt region. Many exist outside that region.

And all of them are there to be EXPLOITED by us once we are able. ARRRRGGG me hearties. Our grand children will be able to consider “asteroid miner” as a career option.

Not to mention that it is going really fast.

Yep, and rounding the sun at about 500 thousand mph, and on the odds of collision, this amazing formation is suggested to have been caused by a collision:

yeah that’s the conversation here. The debris may not be large enough in size to create a light show.

Hence the theory that the particles will not burn up as they enter our atmosphere but just merely float for a few years as they flutter to earth.

The tail is mostly a function of solar wind. It points in the direct of the solar wind. Things get a little more complicated (messy) as the comet exits the solar system. The comet already has a tail and it's going in the same direct as solar wind. But the same principle applies just not a nicely and cleanly as on approach.

If anything the tail would be pulled out by gravity on exit, not approach, since gravity is pulling it (and it's tail) toward the Sun on approach. But the main driver of tail direction is solar wind. As the comet enters the inner solar system is "feels" the heat (energy) of the Sun and vents ice and dust. Since the comet is going into the solar wind the solar wind pushes the ice/dust behind the comet. Or more correctly the vented particles feel the pressure of the solar wind and fall behind the parent comet. The comet also feels the pressure but being a much more massive object it is not effected as much by the solar wind pressure.
