There may be yet another comet-viewing opportunity, one that may be far more spectacular. This opportunity will not come until nearly the end of this year. Comet ISON is expected to make an appearance sometime around November 28. Comet ISON might glow as brightly as the moon and be briefly visible in daylight. Its tail might stretch far across the night sky. How much of a visible impact comet ISON’s makes for us depends upon it surviving its close brush with the sun's atmosphere. A lot remains to be seen.
