Comet Holmes Explodes!
The formerly inconspicuous Comet Holmes has suddenly increased in brightness nearly a million fold and currently appears as a large fuzzy ball in the constellation of Perseus. Professor Alan Fitzsimmons of Queen's University, Belfast, said, it was a "once in a lifetime" event.
"Although comets have been seen to undergo outbursts before, the scale of this dwarfed anything seen in the past century,"
"From these images, we can see the ejecta moving away from the comet at 2,000km per hour (1,300 miles per hour). The total amount of material ejected is probably about 1% of the total mass of the comet."
"On a smaller scale, it is like the Earth suddenly threw off its crust."
