Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann appears to have undergone another massive outburst, this time on 2010 February 2 increasing in brightness by a factor of 30-40. The object is one of the largest active comets known. It follows a near-circular path about 6.2 AU from the Sun, i.e. well beyond the orbit of Jupiter. This is its fourth outburst of a similar magnitude in the past 8 years.
