Don't thank me for this Information, I received it from Spaceweather.
Comet Holmes has erupted, making it a daytime object!!!!!!!
Spaceweather:
Comet 17P/Holmes shocked astronomers today with a spectacular eruption. The 17th magnitude comet has brightened by a factor of five hundred thousand or more during the past 24 hours becoming a naked-eye object in the evening sky. Look for a golden 2.5th magnitude fuzzball in the constellation Perseus after sunset.
It can be easily seen:
"This is unbelievable!" says Iranian astronomer Babak Tafreshi. "I was amazed to find Comet Holmes so easily with the naked-eye in the light-polluted skies of metropolitan Tehran."
It will very hard for us down south to see, but all of you from about Sydney and upwards north should have no problem with a clear Northern low aspect.
It is currently situated in between Perseus and Auriga (about 8 degrees to the right of M31)
I look forward to photos of this event from those of you that can see it
