Roamy Bait


Russian astronomers using the International Scientific Optical Network’s (ISON) telescope have discovered a comet that’s scheduled to make its closest appearance to Earth in December of 2013. Called C/2012 S1, it’s expected to be the brighest visitor to our solar system in the past century — a comet that’ll be considerably brighter than Hale-Bopp (1997) and Halley’s Comet (1986). The disintevaporating hunk of ice and rock could be visible for up to three months.
