Nice comet animation

This latest photo is an animation of Comet Holmes using two images. The animation shows how far the comet moves in 45 minutes. See it at this archive link on Spaceweather.com (above). It is a great website with loads of photos and interesting weather and astronomy information.

Unfortunetly it is not, in many cases, a real good learning tool for education beyond being "Eye Candy." I do activities that I create using Spaceweather and Astronomy Picture of the Day in my summer computer earth-space camp. When I have time I will post more (there are some in this blogs archives).
