Scientific paper

A sequence of photographs of Comet Halley is presented which makes it possible to trace the break in the plasma tail for five hours on Jan. 10, 1986. Attention is given to the possible connection between this event and the intersection of the comet by an interplanetary current sheet, in which both the magnetic field and the solar wind velocity experience a discontinuity. The velocity discontinuity amounts to about 100 km/s.
