Best Wishes, Uncle Alyosha And here's a GLP-appropriate Bible verse (atheists may read, too): God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. - 1 Corinthians 1:27 |

That, plus the sheer number of asteroids of late is troubling to me. New comets often out perform regular comets. they haven't been glazed over by star heat for a LONG time. |

ISON will be very close to Mars and should give us some early indications of what this comet might be really made of. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25721545 It almost looks like Ison will hit Mars on Oct. 1 [link to comet-ison.info] |

"This is what it looked like through a small telescope, imaged with an exposure time of 8x2 minutes." In early March, Comet Pan-STARRS will make its closest approach to the sun inside the orbit of Mercury; at that time it could brighten to easy naked-eye visibility. No one knows exactly what will happen, however, because it is a fresh comet being exposed to solar heating for the first time. Experts discuss the possibilities in this video from Science@NASA. More: 3D orbit, ephemeris, light curves, NASA story. |

Solar heating is vaporizing the comet's icy core and creating a wide, fan-shaped tail visible through binoculars in the southern hemisphere.
