Unraveling the Stars
Sat Nov 3, 12:57 AM ET
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A comet that has unexpectedly brightened in the past couple of weeks and now is visible to the naked eye is attracting professional and amateur interest.
Paul Lewis, director of astronomy outreach at the University of Tennessee, is drawing students to the roof of Nielsen Physics Building for special viewings of Comet 17P/Holmes.
The comet is exploding and its coma, a cloud of gas and dust illuminated by the sun, has grown to be bigger than the planet Jupiter. The comet lacks the tail usually associated with such celestial bodies but can be seen in the northern sky, in the constellation Perseus, as a fuzzy spot of light about as bright as the stars in the Big Dipper.
"This is truly a celestial surprise," Lewis said. "Absolutely amazing."
Until Oct. 23, the comet had been visible to modern astronomers only with a telescope, but that night it suddenly erupted and expanded.
A similar burst in 1892 led to the comet's discovery by Edwin Holmes.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime event to witness, along the lines of when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into Jupiter back in 1994," Lewis said.
Scientists speculate the comet has exploded because there are sinkholes in its nucleus, giving it a honeycomb-like structure. The collapse exposed comet ice to the sun, which transformed the ice into gas.
"What comets do when they are near the sun is very unpredictable," Lewis said. "We expect to see a coma cloud and a tail, but this is more like an explosion, and we are seeing the bubble of gas and dust as it expands away from the center of the blast."
Experts aren't sure how long the comet's show will last, but estimate it could be weeks — if not months. Using a telescope or binoculars help bring the comet's details into view, they said.

NOTHING IS BY CHANCE
Nothing is by chance.
Life is a journey, faced with chalanges.
As I journey into the forest at age 2 when I first comprehended the word
“NO”
Thus my ego was born.
I set foot into that vast,
irrehensible at times…
forest to journey through life.
My Feelings and Wounderments,
( Now that I am Listening with heart and not my mind)
Are just this
However before you read any further
I wish you to read what is written so carefully and slow,
Allow your mind to ponder where your heart needs to go.
For to simplifly this thought process of feelings into words for ones understanding will be a chalange
Due to the truth of the atter is for my own understandings.
Ok…
Lets Begin shall we.
First of all
I seek understanding not answers
Due to God is the only sumething body that knows all all all all of the answers!
Agree?
And All Answers follow more questions yes they surely do!
Okay
Now
Stroll with me.
The survival..
Breathing and reproduction that’s it in a nut shell!
Born with those two things.
So the rest is learned behavvior.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE HUMAN DOESN’T RECOGNIZE ITSELF IN A MIRROR OR ANY WHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER TILL AGE TWO?THUS WHEN ID ecceptionally births the ego when understanding the word
Grinns “ NO”
OH! NOBEING CONTROLLEDyep
CONTROLEDIS WHAT CAUSES WARCONFLICTWITHIN SELFOTHERSEVERYTHINGok
Now go ponder!
