Telescopic video of Comet Ikeya-Murakami

NASA has a stirring video of Comet Ikeya-Murakami, which is currently just passing by. It was filmed with a remotely-operated telescope. The 'scope is in New Mexico, the operator is in Alabama.

New comet video

Here's a still image. It's a pretty little dirty ice block, spewing CO2 jets (that's new info from the Comet Hartley-2 observations by EPOXI)
