Comet Holmes Over Hungary
Explanation:
Comet Holmes refuses to fade.
The
unusual comet
that surprisingly brightened nearly a
million-fold in late October continues to
remain visible
to the unaided eye from
dark locations
.
Night to night,
Comet 17P/Holmes
is slowly gliding through the
constellation Perseus
,
remaining visible to northern observers during much of the night right from sunset.
Pictured above
,
Comet Holmes was captured from
Hungary
last week.
The remarkable snowball continues to retain a
huge coma
, but now shows very little of a
tail
.
To the far right is the
open cluster
of stars
NGC 1245
.
How much longer
Comet Holmes
will
remain visible
to the unaided eye is unknown.
