Falling through planet
Earth's predawn skies toward its close encounter
with the Sun on November 28, Comet ISON is coming
to life. The much anticipated comet has now been reported to have
substantially increased in activity, surging to naked-eye visibility for dark
sites and sprouting a more complex
tail. ISON's tail stretches over two degrees in this telephoto
skyview from southern Kenya,
captured on the morning of November 14. A sungrazer and first time visitor to the inner solar system,
the possibility of ISON's survival to become a
bright comet in planet Earth's December skies remains
a question.
