A few hours ago, the first images of the comet, obtained with the camera HI2-B of spacecraft STEREO-B, was available. Animation is created from the so-called beacon frames, which used for checking the accuracy of pointing and exposures settings . Original, full size frames will be downloaded to the Earth on August 4. At this time, the comet will appear on the images from HI-1B camera, which has higher resolution. The study of comets on the unique images taken with the STEREO spacecraft has just begun!

Comet Holmes 17P was about 3.4 Km in diameter. And its coma reached a size greater than the diameter of the sun, more than a million Km.

Elenin is not very large and neither is its coma.
Comet Elenin - is there a group set up on 12160 for it?
