Comet ISON continues to rapidly increase in brightness — as you can see in the images below. But is the rapid increase a sign that the much-hyped comet may be on the verge of breaking apart? Some researchers have voiced their concerns in recent days that the rapid brightening may very well be the result […]
Comet ISON Shines Brilliantly In New Images, Perihelion On November 28 2013 Read More 👉
Comet ISON may finally be starting to live up to the hype — the much ballyhooed comet is apparently now visible to the naked eye, according to recent reports. With two weeks still left until ISON reaches perihelion (closest approach to the Sun), this is a good sign. 🙂 Perhaps Comet ISON will end up

A beautiful new image of Comet ISON has just come to light — showing the vibrant, almost emerald green color of the comet’s coma. The image was taken with the 0.8-meter Schulman Telescope at the University of Arizona SkyCenter by astrophotographer Adam Block. While Comet ISON is lagging behind some of the more optimistic predictions

Comet ISON — the rapidly approaching ‘comet of the century’, as some have dubbed it — is the subject of a spectacular newly released image. In the image, the the icy comet is seen against a stellar backdrop which includes a number of stars and galaxies. The image, which was taken by the Hubble Space

Comet ISON, also known as C/2012 S1, has been captured in recent images taken by the Gemini Observatory. This series of images depicts the brightening of the comet of the period of the past couple of months, as it continues racing towards the inner solar system. Comet ISON is predicted to likely put on quite

Comet ISON, the potential “comet of the century”, was recently photographed by NASA’s famous Hubble Space Telescope. The image, taken on April 10, depicts the bright comet making its way into the solar system. At the time, Comet ISON was about the distance from the Sun that Jupiter orbits at, 386 million miles. While that

NASA’s Swift Telescope has now set its sights on comet C/2012 S1 (ISON), also known as Comet ISON, and is providing preliminary data on the comet, helping to improve estimates on its future brightness, and other things. Comet ISON has been predicted to possible become “the comet of the century” when it nears the Sun

Comet PANSTARRS is now at what is very likely its peak brightness, though over the next few days the comet will rise higher into the sunset sky, making it easier to see. And beginning on March 12th the comet will be closely accompanied by a crescent moon. The comet should remain visible to the naked

Enormous loops of super-hot plasma, much bigger than the Earth, are seen raining down onto the surface of the Sun in a spectacular new video just released by NASA. The plasma rain was caught on film by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) last year when a mid-strength solar flare was released from the Sun on
Comet ISON, predicted to be brighter than a full-moon, and Comet PANSTARRS should combine to make 2013 the best year for observing comets in a very long time, maybe even a century or more. In addition to the comets, 2013 is also expected to be a fantastic year for watching meteor showers. Comet ISON is
