DISCONNECTION EVENT IN 17P Holmes

Disconnection event reported in 17P/ Holmes, images are strongly encouraged!
DE's result from a reversal in the solar magnetic field polarity (heliospheric current sheet), the ion tail gets stripped away and eventually a new one will form.

Keep your eye on this anybody who can image it!

Cheers!
