Comet ISON is still more than two months away from its spectacular close encounter with the sun. Already, the brightening comet has become a good target for backyard telescopes in the pre-dawn sky.

Cant wait to see it! Thnx for the upload!
I hope to see it, for sure!
I will keep my eyes out for it sounds like a good example for my college to get more into astronomy.
More activities are occurring as we approach a new year
I remember my 1st meteor shower it was so exciting! Comets are cool :) Can't wait.
Bravo Maximilian
Thanks again:)
I kinda hope ISON passes at the exact moment of the polar shift of the sun. Odds of it happening are amazingly slim. But it could have awesome effects.
My favourite channel
This will be a great season for comets. Around the same time as ISON another comet Lovejoy will be visible too, hopefully it's just as good as the last Lovejoy :)
It does, they had some photos with Hubble but it was a couple of weeks ago. The point here is that even amateur with small telescopes can see it.
In a few weeks even a pair of binoculars will do :)
I can't believe it's already almost Thanksgiving.
Question... If they know this is the first time this commit has ventured into the inner solar system , then , what sent it in this direction as I assume it has come from the ort cloud?
I seen it on thanksgiving day around 5 p.m. for like only a few minutes with no telescope beautiful and it was obvious what it was..ealier in the week same thing happened only this time a lot more visible..very rare and a little scary I'd you think about it..
Now when Comet Ison brakes up, and it will brake up, the comets tail becomes the comet, a string of pearls stretching our for millions of miles, and Our Planet goes through the tail, goes through the comet, or to be more to the point, the pieces of comet goes through us.
Nice vid! Hopefully I can get a chance to check this one out, I missed lovejoy.
Absolutely tired of the doom&gloom crackpots as well as the electric crowd.
Sooo that's why they are showing you the photos from amateur astronomers?
Nice
How about a up close, unfiltered pic of Ison...
The comet 'ISON' was discovered on September 21st, 2012 by Artyom-Kislovodsk and Vitaly Nevsky using the International Scientific Optical Network’s (ISON) 0.4 metre reflector telescope. ... Obviously they used the capital letters in the name of their organization as a name for the new comet. Therefore the name ISON has zero links with any other names, whether they are religious names or not.
Don't forget comet Lovejoy , have you anything on that one . Cheers
When to watch? Morning sky or next morning sky?
that's me in my suit, dont worry guys :)
What happened to your display picture?
"...aims to get as many eyes on ISON as possible"
Eyes on ISON
ISON ISON
... I see what you did there. -.-
info is wrong, it is sept 23, the comet is visible for 2 days
Last image is from Salem,Ohio the capital of Columbia County,Ohio
lol happens every time a new comet approaches earth.
The comet wont be visible in the Southern Hemisphere at all?
The usual earth mag field strength fluctuated today here in various locations from well under 100mg to 260mg. Instead of usual 490mg, +- 50 tops. Location NW shore lake Superior. Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. I've been checking often for few mths. Avoiding metal. Same various places as always. Either the field is half strength or an opposing field is reducing it here, like Sun, HAARP, Cell towers, etc. The cell had trouble getting a compass north fix, due to weak field, mini pole, interference??
The comets are electric after all!
I seen what is that comet did to mars what will it throw earths way .
I am sure your mom is proud.
Watch out everyone, we have a "badass" over here!
Its funny how they inviting to their website which is not working.
'they say' It is in the 50 degrees either side of the sun ,so they can't take the chance .
mooi.........gjf
LOL! Yeah, was just about to point that out as well. I suppose when people believe all sorts of crap, little details like that don't really matter.
Nibiru does not exist, but it does sound like some good fodder for the science fiction writers! :)
Oh, yeah. So I guess it didn't want to show up at 12/12/21.
And check this funny advert ..VIRAL - Comet Ison NAMED in 2007 Rugby Commercial 5 Years .
They didn't say it was...so...?
swag
Nibiru = Planet.
ISON = Comet.
Mindfuck.
"Cometary nuclei are composed of an amalgamation of [small pieces of] rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and ammonia." ... ('Astronomy and Astrophysics'; Greenberg, J. Mayo; 1998.) .... en . wikipedia . org / wiki / Comet
So, what are its current coordinates? If it exists *somebody* must know its coordinates. ... If astronomers know the right ascension and declination coordinates they will be able to point their telescopes at that exact spot in Space, and prove whether there really is an object there. ... That's how science works -- somebody makes a claim or hypothesis, and evidence is provided by many other people (mainly scientists, astronomers, etc.).
Any upcoming crushing meteorite?maybe tornadoes,hurricanes,supanova explosion?can you tell us something real Nasa?
GET A GRIP!!!
It doesn't cross the orbit of Earth. it's not even close. So even if it breaks up it doesn't matter to us.
Also did you see the chinese images with the 2 objects circling /guiding the comet . This will crack you up the new Lynx Apollo advert shows a comet travelling through an asteroid belt with 2 objects travelling around it . Seriously are they taking the p$ss lol.
How do you know that it exists if you can't see it?
We can see outside of our galaxy, but we can't still see that nibiru of yours that should've been a little further away from pluto, eh?
Plus your dear comet missed 12.12.21, so really, all tables are turned agianst you.
No .. you have nothing to worry about.
How is it possible to have a govt shutdown at this moment,what could possibly go wrong?
no pro pictures? huh, thought NASA might have one or two good ones.
I'll wait for The Big Bang Theory to explain this - with a little Pennybooby to look at too.
Otherwise, this is just something floating around in space.
I will only believe it when you have proof.
COMET SORRY
不知道！
Sure, I perfer that.
Is there a reason why Science@NASA credited some of the images but not others? Several people happily contributed images, but are not credited at all. That jeopardizes the entire campaign when NASA uses images without proper annotations, because now those folks are leery of contributing... Please fix! Or remove the images. They are not yours!
dont worry ill use my blastoise to hydro pump motlres and i would finally capture it !
...trying not to laugh but Josh what if Comet Ison is just a comet? Not everything is a conspiracy and some things are just what they appear to be. There are a lot of people, professionals and amateurs watching this one.
ison = sion = zion ...
Yes. Because 12.12.21 wasn't good enough.
Our calendar is one year off. The mayans are right.
I hope you will be able to remove that comment if it does.
The Earth's upper atmosphere already incinerates the vast majority of small and medium sized space rocks (observed as meteors or 'shooting stars'). .. So, what do you think would happen to pieces of 'dirt and ice'? .... Are you are doomsayer perhaps? Your year was *last year (the month of December to be precise!)
Double facepalm....
Well, it's a british saying.
It means that they will understand they we're stupid enough to talk about that.
interessante
"ISON will pass 0.429 A.U. or 64.2 million kilometres from Earth the day after Christmas. Bruce Willis can stay home for this one." ('Comet ISON: A Viewing Guide...", ... universetoday . com) So, the path of the comet and its tail will be a *long* way from Earth. ... Don't believe what trolls and doomsayers try to tell you. There is usually zero evidence to backup their crazy claims.
You're right, they are just to stupid to understand that.
I'm just hoping they will get to their senses.
Well, it doesn't exist, so...
you know the whole universe. are ou god or something?
It basicly is, because it's other name is PLANET X.
And others calll it PLANET NIBIRU.
Another proof of fake, because they can't even descide if it's a star, a comet, or a planet.
Plus If Nibiru is a star, COMET ISON can't be it, sience you know... IT'S A COMET.
You need to close your shop before your need to run away and hide in some top secret undergournd bases made by goverment .
Fools. Nibiru does not exist.
為什麼?都沒有中文的呢?
有沒有尊重過我們中國人？
Well, it doesn't exist, so...
