This image may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Please see our picture tutorial, Image help, and image use policy for further information, or check the talk page. For assistance, refer to the Graphics Lab. Reason: The animation is inaccurate in that the speed is constant (no notable difference between the aphelion and the perihelion), the tail size does not change relevantly in size, and it's too quick, all of which can lead to confusion.
