I'm no astrophysicist (obviously) so I don't understand how it makes this corkscrew pattern.
Can anyone explain?

That is the view of the comet if you were to view it continuously from Earth.

The corkscrews are from the yearly progression of the Earth around the Sun.

The small spirals show just how far away it used to be, and will eventually become.
