[MIham] Exploding Comet Update

[FSK on DSL (Finally)]

Space Weather News for Oct. 29, 2007

Last week, Comet 17P/Holmes shocked sky watchers around the world with a
sudden million-fold increase in brightness.  It literally exploded into
view, rapidly becoming a naked eye "star" in the constellation Perseus.
Since then the comet has expanded dramatically. It is now physically larger
than the planet Jupiter and subtends an angle in the night sky similar to
the Moon's Sea of Tranquility, the right eye of the "Man in the Moon."
Photographers, this amazing comet is an excellent target for off-the-shelf
digital cameras and backyard telescopes.  It grows visibly from night to
night and no one knows how large it will become.  Stay tuned to
