Comet Encounter
NOV 5, 2010
In my blog posting on October 10th, I highlighted pictures of comet Hartley
2 that I took from my driveway a few days before as it passed almost in
front of the double cluster. Unbeknownst to me, NASA's EPOXI spacecraft
was on its way to a close encounter with this same comet. The encounter
took place yesterday. The close-up picture of the comet, shown at right,
is amazing.
