Awesome! 
It reminds me of the first time images of the asteroid Eros were captured in 2000/1.

Yep, the same ones on Space Weather Charles. It doesn't look much like a comet as the jets are not very energetic looking (when you think of the Halley and Wild-2 encounters). Can you imagine standing on the centre section (apparently safe and ound in your triple titanium-walled space suit) looking at the jets all around you?
