Greetings,
Here are some photos I took November 1st, 2007 of Comet Holmes. If you

In fact, the coma is not entirely symmetric. There is clearly a denser
region which is offset from the nucleus. This may be a product of

Hi, Chris, List
The best argument against a collision is the absurd
improbability of TWO collisions in the last century,
since this comet has a history of outbursts.
The problem with probability is the probability of the
assumptions that are applied
the possibility of
getting wacked twice in 100+ years.

Good fortune shines on comet observers in Plymouth, Massachusetts. A break
of 15 minutes in the cloud cover allowed us an easy view of Comet Holmes.
Quite unstarlike but not the ordinary hazy comet. A sharp object more
planetlike than any comet I've seen. Probably due to its unusual brightening
