Abstract
Anomalous polarization at small phase angles is confirmed as a common feature of dusty cometary atmospheres. The opposition effect is detected and interpreted as evidence of similarity between grains covering interplanetary, cometary and asteroidal surfaces. The prevailing radii of dust grains in the comet's atmosphere are estimated to be 0.15-0.19 μm.
