>COMET 17P/HOLMES EXPLODES!
>
>On October 24th the faint Comet 17P/Holmes suddenly and unexpectedly
>increased in brightness a million-fold to become an easy night sky object
>even to the unaided eye. The comet had apparently exploded and it currently
>presents a bright disk-shaped object in the constellation of Perseus. The
>unusual comet is an easy object for sky watchers in the northern
>hemisphere. The comet's location throughout the month is shown on The
>Evening Sky Map for November 2007 (northern hemisphere). An image gallery
>for Comet Holmes can be found at:
