Comet 17P/Holmes

Although it has nothing to do with television, you really should take a peek at this extraordinary sight. You don't need to know any of the science to enjoy it and a quick search of "comet holmes" at Wikipedia will furnish you with enough information to locate it in the night sky. With any old pair of binoculars you'll easily identify Comet Holmes when it enters your view.

For the more scientifically curious, I highly recommend you also look at a few of the photos taken by Chris Peterson of Comet Holmes. From his observatory near Guffey, CO, Chris does outstanding work. And he's a really nice guy, too.
