(meteorobs) Birth of a debris stream

[Chris Peterson]

I got a deep image of 17P tonight, and it is showing a lot of individual 
dust streams inside the central coma. This is what a meteoroid stream 
looks like as it is created, although this particular one will never 
cross the Earth's orbit. The latest image is at the bottom of
