Comet 73P in Celestia!
This stunning image of 73P (centred on 73P-C, click to enlarge), was created using Celestia, with a comet definition file produced by Bernard Guillaud-saumur. You can download his comet.ssc file here, and he updates it regularly (this is a marvelous resource for comets, he deserves applause for all the hard work). He also has a dedicated 73P page, which you might like to visit. It's pretty stunning with maps (lots of maps), ephemerides, Celestia views and animations.
