pokkets

They say it's bigger than Jupiter now, and any idea why is just a guess, but it has done the same thing before. It could be something that is peculiar to this particular comet.

              Comet 17P/Holmes shocked astronomers on Oct. 24, 2007, with a spectacular 
              eruption. In less than 24 hours, the 17th magnitude comet brightened 
              by a factor of nearly a million becoming a naked-eye object in the 
              evening sky. Look for a golden 2.5th magnitude fuzzball in the constellation 
              Perseus after sunset.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://spaceweather.com/comets/gallery_holmes_page3.htm"><table background="undefined" bgcolor=""><tr><TD background="images2/longholmes_heade_r4_c2.jpg" class="pageNumText" colspan="2"><A href="http://spaceweather.com/comets/gallery_holmes.html">Page
