Comet 73 P Schwassmann Wachmann

by Pentti Kanerva


Wow! The B fragment has definitely brightned!

Intense starlike nucleus with surrounding coma. Must be in outburst!

On the night before, May 7th around 3am, the B fragment was faint and totally featureless in my 5-inch Mak-Cas in Menlo Park, like most galaxies that I (barely) see. By contrast, C had a nucleus and a come.
