Hi all -
We've seen comets fragment into cometissimals while
passing through the plane of our solar system while
near the Sun.
Would there be any regular gravitational force which
might account for Holmes fragmenting, with resulting
collisions with its own debris? Or is there a field of
debris
Poignant and sadly too true.

Ha! There it is in spite of poor seeing! With the unaided eye,
a fuzzy spot half way up in the NNE, ... planetary-like through
10x50 binoculars and reminiscent of the Eskimo Nebula in the
constellation Gemini (NGC 2392).
Cometarily
Yours,

A much bigger object tonight than our last clear skies here two nights ago,
but a bit more diffuse and the yellow/orange color slightly less evident.
Still, it was a spectacular sight with a 32 mm eyepiece in my 8 SCT (62X),
with its distinctly stellar, point-like condensation in the center and

It is really depressing that, nearly 40 years after landing on the moon, we
can't just detour some asteroid mining crew to go have a look at the thing and

Just to update those interested, there is no diminishing in
brightness in fact there may be a slight increase.
It defintely looks cometary in binoculars with a bright center and
hazy coma. And as someone said last nite, it has a redish

Hi Mark,
Clear here in Duluth, Minn. 17P
Just to update those interested, there is no diminishing in brightness in
fact there may be a slight increase.
It defintely looks cometary in binoculars with a bright center and hazy
coma. And as someone said last nite, it has a redish cast.
What is particularly interesting is its altitude. UT
