Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON)
« on: September 25, 2012, 1149 UTC »
Astronomy forums are buzzing with speculation about newly-discovered Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON). Currently located beyond the orbit of Jupiter, Comet ISON is heading for a very close encounter with the sun next year. In Nov. 2013, it will pass less than 0.012 AU (1.8 million km) from the solar surface. The fierce heating it experiences then could turn the comet into a bright naked-eye object.

Did you see the animation? If that's beyond jupiter's orbit and moving in that much of an arc in 30 min, it's freaking BOOGEYING! :o

Looking forward to seeing this new one.  The last two big ones (Hyakutake especially) were very cool to observe through binoculars.
