According to Space.com, Comet Ison, the latest “Comet of the Century,” flew past Mars last Tuesday, October 1, and is headed now for the Sun.
If it survives its skitter around the Sun, it’ll be visible with backyard binoculars later this month and visible to the naked eye in early December, just after sunset.
Don’t listen to the naysayers who believe that Comet Ison is breaking up even now. They have no romance in their hearts.
