As some of you may have heard, Comet ISON is coming to join us!
Tonight, astronomers are aiming their telescopes high to catch of glimpse of this once in a million year chance! That's right! Comet ISON goes on a one million year trip around our sun, and this will likely be the only time in history that people will see this. Consider yourself lucky. You were the generation that could see this! However, there is a chance that ISON will burn up, which means that we will also be the last of any life in our solar system to see this! Now, if you want to see this phenomenon yourself, ISON will be visible by the naked eye on the first two weeks of December. I recommend you get a picture or video, because this truly is something that will be very memorable indeed. ISON is dubbed as the 'Comet of the Century' and boy, that is one special sight.

BREAKING NEWS:
Comet ISON is failing to emerge through the sun's corona. After it's closest encounter with the sun, astronomers are worried that our 'Comet of the Century' is dead. They are still hopeful, and will continue to search, but the odds are... Not in ISON's favour. If ISON makes a miraculous appearance, however, this once-in-forever moment will be that much more special. Wish on a star tonight for ISON, and may you not become Thanksgiving turkey. Good luck!
