nov 23, 2007 sidereal star chart of comet holmes retrograde in perseus as seen from earth
comet holmes made a spectacular eruption during its passage through perseus on oct 23-24, 2007, brightening almost one million times. the comet's coma doubled in size on october 25th. as of nov 1, 2007, comet holmes is seven times wider than the planet jupiter, and is still expanding. the comet can be easily spotted with the naked eye rising in the constellation perseus after sunset, and is high in the northeast midnight sky. the comet makes for wonderful viewing through back-yard telescopes and binoculars. it is possible that comet holmes could become the brightest comet known.
comet holmes was discovered by edwin holmes on nov 6 1892 at the time of its first eruption.

comet's tail breaks away

to see photos of the "disconnection event" and speculation about what might have caused it." (quote from spaceweather.com)
the full moon in the november lunar cycle conjoins comet holmes and mirpahk in perseus
an excerpt from the nov 9, 2007 lunar planner: (available to subscribers)
"comet holmes' dramatic eruption in perseus occurred in the last lunar cycle. now, the full moon of nov 24, 2007 significantly conjoins holmes while retrograde holmes and mirphak conjoin in both ecliptical longitude and latitude.
what a significator! comet holmes illumines and accentuates this mirphak full moon theme; and perhaps our need to rise-to the occasion as the hero perseus does in his initiatory journey to claim the success and achievement that mirphak embodies. the realizations this full moon offers, whatever they may be for each of us, are of extreme significance."
