>Something unusual is happening to the tail of Comet ZTF (C/2022 E3).
Astronomy anon here. I've been observing comets since Comet West in 1976. Tail disconnection events are NOT unusual at all. Most comets experience multiple disconnection events as the near and round the Sun. Comets can even have multiple tails that are different colors and pointing in different directions. pic Comet West with near continuous disconnect events.
