This one will make Hale-Bopp look like a baby. It's name is Comet ISON after the International Scientific Optical Network although it was really discovered by Vitali Nevski of Belarus and Artyom Novichonok of Russia on Sept 21, 2012. Due to a technicality they didn't have it named after them. It is anticipated that this may be the best comet since the great one in 1680. It will be visible with binoculars by early October and with the naked eye a month later if you know where to look and have dark skies. After that it will brighten dramatically and hit it's peak in late December a year from now. It will be in the constellation Gemini from now until August and will then speed up and move through Leo, Virgo, Scorpius, Herculus (at Christmas) then Ursa Minor (AKA the Littler Dipper) and pass by the North Star before dimming and disappearing. This will probably be the biggest astronomical story of our lifetime. Well, I'm old enough to have watched the first man walk on the Moon but this will be a different kind of big story!
