Holmes has faded quite a lot in the last 48 hours. It is not nearly as
bright as it was over the weekend, but is still large and now much more
asymmetric. The "jellyfish" look is much more pronounced now and the inner
cone or tail is in much better contrast to the fainter outer coma. What a
ride Holmes gave us this time around!
