Details:

This probably old Hale-Bopp-type comet ( Nucleus diameter ca. 60 km ) , still has active fountains or ice geysers, now at P.A. 315° ( 2 o'clock ). The comet was probably very different, with a bright constant coma, million of years ago, when it was newly captured into its current orbit.
Age in the sun matters for both humans and comets, especially when it comes to the amount of out-venting.
