Tom; I also thought that John did a great job and to see it on the front page ABOVE THE FOLD!! That was shocking. I thought a comet had to actually = hit Phoenix to get that kind of coverage. Anyway, it is an excellent story; Steve Coe -----Original Message----- From: az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:az-observing-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Polakis Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 8:50 AM To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AZ-Observing] AZ Republic Comet Holmes Story I typically don't go out of my way to call attention to my published = images, but you may need a guide to finding the comet in the picture on the = front page of Friday's Republic. Touching the bottom of the "e" of "Inside = look at Comet Holmes" is a white dot a few millimeters in diameter. That's = the comet! Here is the original photo. http://members.cox.net/tpolakis/astro/comet_holmes_polakis20071030b_scree= n.j pg It was taken from the Picketpost Mountain trailhead on the night of = October 30. For those who like to complain about science writing, as far as I can = tell, all of the the facts in the Republic story are true, in John Stanley's = usual meticulous style.
