Comet 17P/Holmes coma now over 5.5 million km wide: 4 times size of the sun!

Using my photograph of the 29th, astrometrically measured with Astrorecord, I updated my diagram of the growing size of comet 17P/Holmes' coma.

The coma is now over 5.5 million km wide. That is 4 times the size of the sun!
