Why the Comet 67P/C-G, as seen by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope array ( http://graphics8.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/11/08/rosetta-philae/assets/140811_Rosetta_comet_observed_with_Very_Large_Telescope.jpg http://graphics8.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/11/08/rosetta... ) is so different than close-up? Here for example, I can't see any trails or fire. Is also white instead of orange? Can be this caused by the speed? http://graphics8.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/11/08/rosetta-philae/assets/140813_Comet_on_13_August_2014_-_NavCam.jpg http://graphics8.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2014/11/08/rosetta...
