This is pretty interesting. I never heard that Solar Systems had Tail. Have they seen something similar with other Solar Systems?

I would love to watch the video, and to thank of it you just saying solar systems had tails made me think that it is possible, as it moves along it loses the gravitational force to keep little bits if debris (astroids) in the ort cloud and kuiper belt. Along with any gasses that the sun pushes out via solar flares (the gases are solar wind).

13 lightyears of lenght. Now that's a tail.

We have a few neighboring stars around 5 or so light years away. So I'd guess they can give us a gentle push now and again.

Interesting. It makes sense ofcourse when you think about it, but I never concidered such a thing
