Go to: http://www.heavens-above.com/ Link "sky map" at http://spaceweather.com/ may be better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17P/Holmes is also good. If one wants to *see* the thing, the weather here is not all that co- operative (there's evidence to suggest that it's generally better a few kilometres to the South). Currently Holmes is close to Mirfak; it was just about visible about 3 hours ago here. From the UK, it's currently close to straight up at midnight. -- (c) John Stockton, Surrey, UK.

The comet has dimed and become very fuzzy, no detail at all,
in the last week. But try it. Its large! Abdul wrote: Where is the best place to find the current position and magnitude of the bright comet mentioned in the newspapers? Abdul |
