Well c'mon, with a visual magnitude of 28.2, do you really expect it to look like the Giotto images? :-?
It said that makes it the faintest comet ever detected. Anyone have any idea what the dimmest (identifiable) object ever photographed is? It can't be much higher in magnitude than that, can it?
I do like how they refer to "1000 million," though. Some of us call that a "billion."
