Has anyone seen an attempt to explain why the comet body is still visible? Particularly since is has increased from about mag 16-17. One would thing that this may be evidence of its continual "degassing", which might suggest that as long as the core is visible, it will continue to contribute to the coma and the thing will grow. Others may suggest that this is only because the interior has been exposed due to stripping of dark surface material. But, its brightness is quite intriguing and requires some plausible explanation.
I Yam What I Yam!
