“Comet Holmes in Outburst” is copyrighted by Babak Tafreshi. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteComet Holmes, 17P/Holmes, experienced an incredible outburst, increasing in brightness over half a million times in hours. This transformed it from an obscure comet into a naked-eye object, rivaling bright stars in Perseus. This image, taken from Tehran, Iran, shows the comet's dramatic new visibility in urban skies. It was a remarkable event for comet watchers.
