This is a copy of a Press Release from E.S.O. The most recent ESO observations of bright Comet Hyakutake have shown rapid changes in the innermost coma, within a few hundred kilometres from the cometary nucleus. This result has only become possible because of the unusual combination of a bright comet being near the Earth, together with the excellent imaging quality of the ESO 3.5-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT). ...

Comet 17P/Holmes increased in brightness over a half of million times on 2007 October 24 ( APOD 2007 October 26 ). On November 1 it was still in peak of its brightness, when I pointed at it the 25-cm telescope of my home observatory located in the Nizhnyj Arkhys, Community of the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Karachai-Cherkesia, Russia.

... The Rotating Jets of Comet Hyakutake . ... At this time, the comet's dust and ion tail will be at their greatest physical length. ... Although much of this material ends up in the tail , some interesting features can be seen close to the comet's three kilometer nucleus . Because the comet's nucleus rotates, the jets can be seen to form arcs around the comet's center resembling a pinwheel. The above photograph, taken April 8, shows two expanding arcs of cometary material and two source jets. ...

... Comet Animation . ... Comet structures are diverse and very dynamic, but they all develop a surrounding cloud of diffuse material, called a coma, that usually grows in size and brightness as the comet approaches the Sun. ... As comets approach the Sun they develop enormous tails of luminous material that extend for millions of kilometers from the head, away from the Sun. ... The evaporated molecules boil off and carry small solid particles with them, forming the comet's coma of gas and dust. ...
