HST Holmes in on comet!

Hi, here's a (HST) shot of comet Holmes just posted by NASA, it's now larger than the Sun, cheers, Dan.

Dan, Comet images from this forum blow that HST shot away. Maybe you should try to tweak the HST image.

That's an amazing picture. It seems to indicate that there either is little or no rotation of the nucleus and that there may be two jets of gases being released or that there is a slow rotation of the nucleus and a single jet is exiting the comet to the upper left at the current time with the older material expanding into space to the right. The nucleus sure looks dark in comparison. This would be interesting to track. I wonder if any of the earthbound scopes can get high enough resolution shots to continue to add information?
