Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann

I hear this fragmented object is well worth an observation and this is quite well backed up with this nice image [image] taken by [Peter Vasey]. This comet has a rather interesting past which is nicely described as a feature on the NASA site: [Mini-Comets Approaching Earth ]. This comet is also the focus of some good research, see: [Wiegert et al 2005 (MNRAS, 361, 638)].
