Astrosphere for October 28th, 2007

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
