Stereo - Two Comets in One Field
Two comets, C/2008 T2 Cardinal and C/2007 N3 Lulin, are currently visible in the H1A camera of the stereo spacecraft. See this animation (1 Mb download). Cardinal fairly zips along while Lulin crawls.Watching these two is a pleasant diversion while I'm waiting for the Moon to wane and clouds to go away so I can catch C/2009 G1 again.
Hat tip to Comet Al and Wentao Xu.
