☄️ Comet Dual Tail Simulation - 2D Orbit Plane View with Dust Syndynes and Ion Tail

2D companion of the comet dual tail simulation: a top-down Kepler orbit with dust grains that feel reduced gravity (beta = radiation force / gravity), a straight ion tail swept by the solar wind, plus distance, vis-viva speed and beta-against-grain-size graphs.
