Comet Holmes and the case of the Disappearing Tail
'Holmes brightened from below the threshold of binoculars to being clearly visible with the unaided eye. The outburst presented as a circular fuzzy patch in the constellation of Perseus, and has proceeded to grow in size. The comet was then reported to have spawned a tail.
More drama was to come.
Spaceweather currently reports that "last Friday, astronomers watched in amazement as the comet's tail broke off!".'
