Comet ISON making 1st journey to inner Solar System

Comet ISON (or Comet C/2012 S1) is a sungrazing comet and is making its first approach to the inner Solar System. It passed Mars on 01st October 2013, and will reach perihelion (Closest approach) to the Sun on 28 November 2013.

The comet may not survive its journey around the Sun and it might evaporate without a trace. Or, it may simply swing around the Sun and continue on its journey to the outer Solar System. It is also possible that ISON might break up into fragments. If it does break up, the fragments will not go in all directions (for example - like an explosion on Earth).Instead the fragments will follow the path of its parent body, continuing along the same course.

If it survives its journey around the Sun, Comet ISON - Comet C/2012 S1 will pass closest to Earth on 26 December 2013, approaching within 39.9 million miles / 64.2 million km (or about 167 times farther away than the Moon. It will not dazzle the sky, but it might (and hopefully) appear about as bright as planet Venus.

Comet ISON; officially designated: Comet C/2012 S1
