“Comet Holmes is not alone in exhibiting anomalous effects. In the past, other comets have undergone unexpected outbursts in brightness. And this is probably not the first outburst for Comet Holmes: when it was discovered in 1892, it was likely in outburst mode, since it became as bright as fourth magnitude and was dimly visible to the naked eye.”

Auriga is nearly overhead when I go out to check on the aurora. I will be looking for comet Holmes, and for the color they claim for the object.
