00:28wie das das Humanity hat ever gefunden.
00:40The shape of the nucleus is also difficult to pin down,
00:43because generally we're not resolving it in our observations.
00:47It's obscured by the dust, and especially it's obscured by the reflected sunlight off
00:53of the dust in the inner part of the coma.
00:55But what observers from the ground have been able to do is observe the brightness of the
01:01center of the comet over time to see if there's a modulation of that brightness that would
01:06be an indication of rotation.
01:09And it's very difficult to discern.
01:11So what it's looking like so far is that there's not a big ... the shape of the nucleus is not
01:19very far from being round.
01:20It doesn't seem to be a big ... at least we're not seeing signatures of a very elongated
01:25object yet.
