DAILY MAIL Wednesday, November7, 2007 Jonathan Cainer Page 46 "COMET Holmes is mesmerising people everywhere. Alan MacRobert of the Boston Globe described his binocular view as a `luminous jellyfish swimming straight at us in the night'. Yet Holmes is not approaching us; it's moving away. And you don't need binoculars to see it - just a clear North East View.

Last updated Tuesday, 30 October 2007, 19:30 GMT An explosion on a distant comet, Holmes, is studied by UK astronomers using the Isaac Newton Telescope. Comet Holmes brightens in retreat An explosion on a distant omet, Holmes, has been examined by UK astronomers using the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) on the Canary Islands. The explosion was so big that the comet brightened by a factor of a million; and it can now be seen from the Northern Hemisphere with the naked eye. Holmes is currently moving away from the Sun, and is almost midway between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was amateur astronomers who alerted the professionals to the brightening. One of the UK observation team, 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," he said. The images from the INT show an expanding circular cloud of gas and dust emanating from the nucleus of the comet, together with a brighter cloud of material. Professor Fitzsimmons explained: "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." It is not clear what caused this explosive event - especially since it is moving away from the Sun's energetic influence. One possibility is that the comet was hit by a meteoroid. More probably, there has been a build-up of gas under part of the surface that catastrophically ruptured the surface last week. Comet Holmes is a regular visitor to the inner Solar System. It takes 6.9 years to orbit the Sun once. It made its closest approach to our star last May, passing by at some 300 million km (190 million miles). To the naked eye, Holmes appears as a fuzzy yellow dot in the night sky in the Perseus Constellation.
17P/Holmes is a periodic comet in our solar system discovered by the British amateur .... "Comet Holmes Stays Bright, Enlarges in the Evening Sky", ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17P/Holmes 17P/Holmes is a periodic comet in our solar system, discovered by the British amateur astronomer Edwin Holmes on November 6, 1892. In only 42 hours in October 2007, the comet brightened from a magnitude of about 17 to about 2.8 — from out of reach for nearly all amateur-astronomer telescopes to naked eye visibility even in many cities. This unusually large outburst represents a change of brightness by a factor of several hundred thousand. Comet 17P/Holmes was discovered by Edwin Holmes on November 6, 1892 while he was conducting regular observations of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Its discovery in 1892 was made because of and during magnitude changes similar to the 2007 outburst. 17P/Holmes brightened to an approximate magnitude of 4 or 5 before fading from visibility over a period of several weeks.[1] The comet's discovery was confirmed by Edward Walter Maunder (Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England), William Henry Maw (England), and Kidd (Bramley, England), and independent discoveries were made by Thomas David Anderson (Edinburgh, Scotland) on November 8 and by John Ewen Davidson (Mackay, Queensland, Australia) on November 9.[2] The first elliptical orbits of 17P/Holmes were calculated independently by Heinrich Kreutz and George Mary Searle. Additional orbits eventually established the perihelion date as June 13 and the orbital period as 6.9 years. These calculations proved that the comet was not a return of 3D/Biela. The 1899 and 1906 appearances were observed, but the comet was lost after 1906 until recovered on July 16, 1964 by Elizabeth Roemer (US Naval Observatory, Flagstaff, Arizona, USA). Aided by the computer predictions of Brian G. Marsden, the comet has been observed on every subsequent return.

DAILY MAIL WEEKEND Saturday 15 July 2006 Your Week Ahead Jonathan Cainer Page 85 (number omitted) "TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21: 'When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.' Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gave these words to Sherlock Holmes. You don't, though, have to be a great detective in order to see their relevance in your life this week. Something seemingly far-fetched is taking place. The more you try to understand it, the more confused you become. Surely, something can't really be happening or someone has got hold of the wrong end of the stick. Really, though;you had best believe the evidence of your own eyes. What's happening may be very strange but it is very positive."
