According to astronomers' calculations, this is a comet in a near-parabolic elliptical and retrograde orbit, which means it orbits the Sun in the opposite direction of the sun's rotation (from west to ...
In the former case, the parabolic orbit would be transformed into an elliptical one, and the comet would be, as it were, incorporated into our system-captured by the planet.
