Mystery Comet Explodes into Brightness
Comet 17P/Holmes
Comet 17P/Holmes is in super-outburst! It brightened by a factor of one million in less than 24 hours. This comet currently appears as a fuzzy, yellowish star-like object in the constellation Perseus and is well-placed for northern hemisphere observers. Credit: Chris Schur
