The Year of the Comet...This Year!
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:39 pm
The recently discovered comet ISON is thought by many scientists to possibly be the event of the century. The comet, which is pristine and has never fallen into the gravity well before, has the potential to shine brighter than a full moon and be very visible in the daytime. The comet's tail will stretch from the Sun to the orbit of Jupiter. It will be visible to the naked eye for almost three months!
The last time a comet this big came by was in the 1600's! This comet's orbit is 10 million years long, so we're all lucky to be ringside right now! Comet Party!!!
