All Eyes on ISON

NASA/ESA/STScI/AURA

A rather singular comet, ISON, has been visible to astronomers for some time as it hurtles ever closer to the sun, and the question now is, What will happen when it gets its closest, on Nov. 28? Will the sun's gravity make it explode, as it did with another comet that passed by? Or will it, like yet another, be pulled into the sun's orbit? If not, it will emerge from the glare and be visible to us throughout December: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25052236
