小行星和彗星之间的区别大体上十分清楚。彗星主要由冰构成,靠近太阳冰会蒸发形成长尾。而主要由岩石构成的小行星则不那么容易分解。然而最近几年,天文学家发现了突然形似彗星的小行星。天文学家称它们为主带彗星——它们出现类似彗尾的特征但轨道位于火星和木星之间的小行星带。而彗星被认为主要来自太阳系外围。天文学家为此提出了许多解释:小行星遭到小型天体的撞击,喷射出碎片云;太阳蒸发了小行星内部的冰。但天文学家还无法解释主带彗星的特征:它与彗星存在差异,前面是断片簇而不是单一的头部。至今天文学家只发现了十几颗主带彗星,最新一颗是今年九月发现的P/2013 R3,P/2013 R3不同于此前发现的其它主带彗星,不是由一个核心加上一条尾巴构成,而是有四个可区分的部分。This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.
