73P-B, spectacular jets and a close encounter with M57
Comet fragment 73P-B is in outburst again, this time it has produced spectacular jets, see this amazing image from Carl Hergenrother, this one from the Campania group and this one from Ralf Vandenberg.
73P-C is not as dramatic, but it did pass close to M57, the Ring Nebula, recently, here is a very nice image from Raymon Naves and another very nice one from Gianluca Masi.
73P-C is reported at magnitude 6.0-6.2, 73P-B at magnitude 6.5-6.8.
