It's currently moving further from the sun while moving only slightly closer to earth.<BR/><BR/>This comet's rapid increase in size is the result of a sudden outburst of activity and the associated expansion of the comet's coma.Bill Greerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04058477430138298763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9049835987879258462.post-83590455379806397692007-10-30T14:41:00.000Z2007-10-30T14:41:00.000ZI do not remember another comet like, I do not see its tail, and it is huge, I think his direction is toward here, what you think about my theory?Roberto Lugonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9049835987879258462.post-44823047954635816592007-10-29T16:19:00.000Z2007-10-29T16:19:00.000ZWhat a lovely drawing Bill! I know from personal experience that drawing at the eyepiece takes a tremendous amount of skill, and it's great to see the art still alive and well in the CCD age. <BR/><BR/>Your observations of slight colour at lower magnifications and variation in density with respect to the suns direction are very interesting - something that I think only seasoned observers would spot. Keep up the good work :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Simon.<BR/><BR/>http://planet-si.blogspot.com/apollohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03957497315472351976noreply@blogger.com
