Looking at Andjelko Glivar's wonderful Machholz/Pleiades image on
SpaceWeather.com today (2005-01-08) it looks as if Machholz passed the
cluster in style with a tail disconnection event!


No, no, no, look at MY picture ;-)

Another complete stunner!

Beautiful work. Ok - what's the streak - is it a meteor or a
satellite? It looks like a meteor to me.

The break-away part of the ion tail looks very clear in your shot -
well done.

Beautiful! The satellite or meteor crossing it adds some interest.

Here's a spectacular animation for this Comet Macholz extravaganza:
