It’s an exciting time when a comet becomes visible to the naked eye. Right now the opportunity to exists to see Comet 17P Holmes, now visible in the constellation Perseus. This came to us as a surprise because until late last week it was all but invisible to all but the most powerful telescopes. Literally overnight, the comet brightened by a factor of one million and of course we’re excited. Right now, you have the chance to see it as a fuzzy, yellowish star.
