I hope you're all enjoying this lazy Sunday. Sorry for the lack of updates, things have been busy for me. Of course, you'll be wanting an image of Comet Holmes. This one was captured by Phil22 from the forum, but there are lots more there, so check them all out.
Lots of people are talking about Comet 17P/Holmes. Astroprof captured
an image of the comet
above his house. And
here's an image
captured by Steve Tuttle. And here's
a cool series
showing its evolution from Slacker Astronomy. And
another nice one
from Tom's Astronomy Blog. And finally,
here's a sketch
made by Bill Greer.
And everyone else is out at the X-Prize Cup. Jeff Foust uploaded
a bunch of images
. And
here's a video
of Armadillo Aerospace's unsuccessful attempt to win the first lunar prize. And
here's some coverage
from Alan Boyle's Cosmic Log. Finally, here's Wired Science's
excellent coverage
. Orbital Outfitters showed off their
new prototype commercial pilot spacesuit
