Comet Holmes/17P - 10/26/2007
Comet 17P/Holmes shocked astronomers on October 24/25th with a spectacular eruption, brightening almost a million-fold from 17th to 2.5th magnitude in a matter of hours. By the morning of October 26th the coma or large cloud had expanded and the nucleus had become more visible.
