[MIham] Comet Holmes Swallows a Star

Space Weather News for Nov. 19, 2007

Comet 17P/Holmes is swallowing a star! Not really, but it looks that way.
Tonight, the exploding comet is passing directly in front of Mirfak, the
brightest star of the constellation Perseus.  Astronomers liken the view
through a backyard telescope to a giant space-faring jellyfish gobbling a
phosphorescent treat. Although Comet Holmes is now fading to the limits of
naked-eye visibility, the star-comet duo is still easy to find in the
northern sky after sunset.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for a sky map and
