Is anyone else looking forward to observing comet ISON as it makes it's flyby later in 2013? This will be my first chance to hopefully observe a comet, as Hallie's Comet didn't really mean much to me when I was a kid. I hear ISON is going to be viewable in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth in late November 2013. Scientists don't quite know if it will burn up in the sun after passing Earth, or if it will zoom back out into space for another possible flyby at a later date. So far it is believed the comet has made it's journey to the solar system from the Oort Cloud.
Don't worry folks, the comet poses NO danger to the Earth, as normal, but will provide a great chance for astronomers and scientists to observe and get a better understanding of comets as a whole when it puts on a show later next year.
