MATH: Money & Comet 17P/Holmes

Tonight, work on math sheet 7.1, Counting Bills and Coins. Remember: start with your largest amount and work down to the smallest amount.

Ok, I gotta talk about comet Holmes. About a week ago the comet was not visible when you looked into the northern sky at night. Since then it exploded and became about a million times brighter! The explosion has made it visible to anyone, even in bright cities. Try to get a pair of binoculars and look north for a growing fuzzball in the sky. Where is the tail? Actually, there is a tail but we are looking at it end-on, instead of seeing it from the side. Go check it out!
