Description |
Suddenly, on October 24th, Comet Holmes
brightened by a factor of about a million. Over time,
the coma (the thin gaseous area around the comet) became
larger than our sun. Although the comet is mostly round,
you can see a sharper edge on the left and a bit of
elongation from lower left toward the upper right. |
