Another Comet Heads for the Sun
That slightly elongated blob is a comet discovered by Jiangao Ruan. Will it survive it's passage of the Sun?
Stay tuned.
Here's an animation I made of it zipping along. The comet appears towards the middle of the right hand side. The two bright stars are delta and gamma Capricornii.
