NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Comet Stonehouse” is copyrighted by D. McDavid and G. Dowdle, Limber Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Comet Stonehouse, designated 1998 H1, was discovered by Patrick L. Stonehouse and announced on April 26. Comets move against a field of background stars, their slow apparent motion revealing their orbits. At 10th magnitude, Comet Stonehouse is too faint for the unaided eye, but it is a popular object for telescopes.
