Comet Holmes
Hiya,
Have any of you seen Comet Holmes? Go to spaceweather.com for all the details. It is relatively easy to spot. Over the past several days it has blossomed from a 17th magnitude object to 2.5! That's a change of more than 1,000,000 times in brightness! I saw the comet for the first time Monday. It just looks like a star unless you use a pair of binoculars or a telescope. The comet has no tail. All you see is a big gray patch of fuzzy light. It is great!! Be sure to include any sightings in your observations.
Clear Skies,
Charlie
