Comet Holmes is located in the constellation Perseus. Go to www.heavens-above.com for the best info on where and when to find it. The site will give you sky charts for your location.
For those who decided the questioner was talking nonsense, I suggest you actually look up the latest information on comet Holmes. It currently has a coma that is larger than the Sun. Although not very massive, comet Holmes IS the largest thing in our solar system at the moment.

You should strive for greater precision in your use of language. The term "solar system " refers to only our Sun and those objects bound to it by its gravity. So the Sun is the largest object in the solar system.
What is largest in our galaxy or largest in the known universe are two vastly different questions.

The sun, it contains 99.9% of all the matter in the solar system.
