Ah, but there's 2 problems with that: There's not enough atmosphere around 
Io for the icy comet to catch fire, and there's no ice on the surface of Io 
(as far as I know). So really it loses the point of both images! Besides I'm 
not looking for a compromise, I think each image has enough in it already 
and trying to combine them will make it crowded and confusing (to be honest, 
I think the comet image already runs the risk of confusing people).

Thanks for the suggestion anyway, and feel free to correct me if I 
misinterpretted your suggestion :)
