Comet Of The Century?
The BBC is showing a superb image of Comet Ison on its web site. They also make this comment.
It could be the “comet of the century” if it does not burn up entirely on the way.
Here’s hoping!
Comet Ison
Comet Ison could be a big one. Some of the latest information from NASA is here.
I’ve set up an alert in Google, but I suspect, it’ll be like many supposed big ones of the earlier part of my life. A complete disappointment!
The best comet, I saw was in about 1969 or 1970, when C and I were returning to our house in Melbourn near Cambridge. I remember stopping the car and looking for some minutes from a lay-by on the A505. It was probably Comet Bennett, as that was the only bright one of those years.
