Near the last phase of 2013 Comet ISON will be observable in India and is supposed to seem brighter than the moon, revealed by the Russian scientists.

The comet would be clear to the naked eye as it would be very bright and clear.

The comet is named as C/ 2012 S1 (ISON), it was revealed by the Russian astrophysicists Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok at the International Scientific Optical Network telescope center.

The comet will enter within 2 million miles of the sun’s surface.comet

The Russian astrophysicists have supposed that the comet might be more vivid than any other comet has ever marked in the past century, noticeable even in the extensive daytime, and this might be its only trip in our solar system.

What are Comets?

Comets are sooty balls of ice; usually created from the Kuiper belt, an area of icy bulks further than Neptune. Sometimes, a comet gets away from its path, and falls into the interior solar system.
