Of Holmes and Watson and dirty iceballs...

Great job, Mohit! Comets are a celestial lottery that we poor earthlings hit a jackpot on rarely in a lifetime. My own interest in astronomy started in 1986 when Comet Halley paid us a visit. This particular comet (Comet Holmes) in Perseus has brightened considerably and we can hope to see it with the naked eye or with modest equipment (like Scopey!)
