    >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
    >http://spaceweather.com for sky maps and the latest images.
