Factual error: Alicia realizes that the asteroid is actually a comet by its tail. However, earlier in the episode we are told we are far from any star (so no point in opening the solar sails). The thing is, comets only develop a tail when they are near a star, which blows gases off the comet with the solar wind (the same wind that could operate solar sails). So in reality, there would be no tail to this comet.
