[AstroNet] Comet 2012 S1 (ISON)

Thu Oct 4 08:14:12 SAST 2012

Looks like South Africans are going to miss out on this one - at the time it should be at its best, it will be too far north for us.  But, comets are notoriously unpredictable - if it brightens before it goes past the Sun, we could get lucky . . .
