The Holmes Comet appears to be exploding. Astronomers have now dubbed it the 'exploding comet,' saying it is now fully a million times its normal size and seems likely to get bigger.

    • Yeah, I saw it last night. Apparently it's about seven times larger than Jupiter right now. It's also getting closer and bigger. It is the most massive thing in our solar system besides the sun itself. I could see it without a telescope, but with a simple pair of binoculars, it was astounding. Anyone see a Holmes Bop cult coming?
