Scientific paper

The structures of the tails of Comet Levy 1990 XX are studied using plates obtained in February, 1991. We explain the unusual appearance of the tails of Comet Levy by the conditions of tail projection onto the image plane. The bimodal size distribution of the particles in the cometary atmosphere is confirmed. It is shown that the observed structures of the dust tail are not of the neck-line type.
