Comet ISON is on its way - 10/01/12 09:54 PM
Newly-discovered Comet ISON is headed our way and is causing a bit of buzz. Astronomers are pretty sure that it will be visible to the naked eye and from the northern hemisphere. It also has the potential to be spectactular next autumn.
But if you've been reading about this, save the excitement for later. A Sky News headline reads "Newly-Discovered Comet May Outshine The Moon". True, but it also may fail to outshine the Moon. It might even break up like Comet Elenin without any but the most dedicated having seen it at all.
Comets are notoriously unpredictable!
