Comets tail short video from NASA

[Exfso (Peter)]

This is an amazing short video, what I find interesting is what looks like a meteor going from top to bottom. But this is nowhere near the earths atmosphere as the vid is taken by solar orbiter.
Anyone got any ideas..

Pete, it explains exactly what is happening in the video, underneath in the article..?? ie Sun is out of frame on the left, billowing solar wind emanating from it, the comet is coming down from top of frame to bottom and Mercury appearing from the left..?

Thanks Mike, I thought the wispy stuff going left to right was the tail. Should have read a bit further I suppose...
