Still more 73P Hijinks!

73P-B is in outburst again. This latest image shows a long tail of material coming out of the comet, in addition the the fragmenst seen from the previous outburst. Here is another image showing a large fragment and here is a very nice animation.

73P-C is reported as visible to the unaided eye under dark skies (magnitude esitimates range from 6.0-6.3), and 73P-B has been reported as visible with averted vision under dark skies (mag range from 6.5 to 6.8).
