☄️ Comet Tail - 2D Orbit-Plane Map of Solar Radiation Pressure, Syndynes and Ion Tail

2D companion of the comet tail simulation: a top-down orbit-plane map where dust grains with different beta values follow reduced-gravity orbits to form the curved dust tail, with syndyne curves and a solar-wind ion tail.
