Hubble is really invaluable and any cent worth - in past and future!

It was observed too by one of the VLTs but on rather low horizon, so there was too much atmosphere for a better result I guess - but for comparison to Hubble's image... http://www.eso.org/outreach/press-rel/pr-2006/pr-15-06.html

Is there already a new study about potential meteors (shower) from the comet in the future? This time (from mid-May) the most dust is probably still too far away.
