Yes, it's pretty big. It reached a size bigger than the Sun (although it's a great big nothing--just a shell of vapor). Those pictures were taken with a telescope. To the naked eye, Comet Holmes, when it was brightest, looked like a puffed-up fuzzy star.

The most remarkable thing about Comet Holmes is that it exploded for no apparent reason, flaring up while still out in the cold, out beyond the orbit of Mars. Most comets flare up as they approach the Sun, warm, and melt, releasing gases.

It is also not very comet-shaped. Reason being we see it pretty much head on. In the picture, it looks a little like a jellyfish.

There're some hypothesis that can explain why?
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Some suggested maybe it got bumped? I think the issue is unresolved.

I'm so jealous. Is everyone else having winter, but us here in southern Finland.
I just yesterday read news that they had snow in Greeze. :shock:

What does severe weather alert mean?

I also heard that they had snow in Israel.
We et have too much sunny weather here to get snow. And when we have too much of high pressions in the atmosphere, we keep getting the Italian TV instead of the French one. I'm beginning to think that Asso is messing with my antenna. :dunno:

Doesn't work. The area where I live belonged to Italia by this time.
If it had anything to do with football, the real one (translation for the US folks: soccer), I could understand, but Napoleon didn't even have TV! :lol:
