The Comet Hale-Bopp is green-blue.
no
No. You may be thinking of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which did break up and then crash into Jupiter. Hale-Bopp is still headed outward from the Sun, and is expected to return to the inner solar system around the year 4530.
AnswerThe Hale-Bopp comet is now beyond the orbit of Uranus but is expected to still be visible by large telescopes until about 2020. After then, it is not expected to make a return until the year 4534.
A comet's tail points away from the sun. Sometimes the dust and gas separate, though, because they are driven by two different effects, radiation pressure and solar wind, respectively. Both point mostly away from the sun, but not always exactly. Photographs of Comet Hale-Bopp show this effect well, for example, the Astronomy Picture of the Day at the link shown. A comet in deepest cold space is generally thought of as a giant dirty snowball with the snow made of water ice, and frozen organic liquids, and the dirt of small rocks and dust which are the debris of explosions and collisions of different bodies in space. It is only when the comet approaches the sun and warms up that surface ice melts and vapourises carrying dust with it and forming a large cloud that we can see clearly. It is at this stage when the effects mentioned above act on the cloud and sweep it behind the comet relative to the sun to form a tail or tails, and because there is no atmospheric air in space the tail always points away from the sun even when the comet is travelling away from it.
Well I think you mean a comet, because stars are not moving to the earth, and the tail of the comet would be red or blue depends on which side your looking at it.

Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp.
Comet Hale-Bopp was discovered on July, 23, 1995, independently by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, both from the United States.
The comet Hale Bopp already made an appearance in 1997.The best way to prepare for the arrival of comet Hale Bopp is to do research by viewing what scientists predict.
The hale-bopp comet is so named for the two astronomers who spotted and confirmed it first. Hale and Bopp.

Two guys named Hale and Bopp. Seriously. The comet was discovered independently by amateur astronomer and comet hunter Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, who didn't own a telescope but was using the one owned by a friend.
