Hello all,

Picked this up this morning from the BBC science and technology page:

An amateur astronomer has discovered a new comet - using not a back garden
telescope but a multi-million pound satellite.

Michael Oates, a British observer, spotted the comet in an online image
taken by the satellite-based Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (Soho). It
is the 200th comet to be found using Soho.

Charlie.
