SEEN 2007RECORD brightest comet in decades

The brightest comet in more than forty years. In January 2007 McNaught became so brilliant that people spotted it in broad daylight next to the Sun. Observers in the southern hemisphere then got the full show: a gigantic fan shaped dust tail spreading across the evening sky like a peacock's feather, an image nobody who saw it will forget.
