A star with a long tail is typically referred to as a comet. Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the Sun, forming a glowing coma and a tail that points away from the Sun due to solar wind and radiation pressure. The tail can appear quite elongated and is one of the most distinctive features of comets.
