This was a simulation only,
not a real photograph.
ISON fizzled in 2013 and it didn't
happen! This image was made by
www.AstroPilot.info
to help motivate and create greater interest in
Comet Ison.
Please pass it on to your friends. By December of 2013 this comet may
become one of the all-time great comets of humanity. Then again, it
could fizzle-out and be of no casual interest. But currently, all
indications are that it will be very bright and visible to all in the
northern hemisphere. An added bonus to pilots and passengers that will
have guaranteed clear weather above the winter clouds below! It could be
an
incredible sight! The correlation with Noctilucent Clouds is that NLC
use meteor shower debris as condensation nuclei, and meteor showers come
from comet's tails. Although Earth will not pass into the tail of Comet
Ison, it will provide a visual understanding of the process. Photo:
