The latest SOHO image from 9:32 a.m. today shows Comet Lovejoy with a tail
that's about 1 1/2 degrees long. Folks who are good at estimating magnitudes
from this sort of image are putting it at around 1st magnitude. When the
magnitude goes below zero, we will expect to see some horizontal CCD blooming
spikes emanating from the head of the comet.
