Starlady Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I saw the ISON comet this morning just before sunrise over the lake! It is traveling 150,000 MPH and you should be able to see it tomorrow morning before it disappears behind the Sun. If it survives it will re- appear around Christmas. it will accelerate behind the Sun to 858,000 MPH! If it does burn up, tomorrow morning may be the only time to see it. Look southeast around 6:30 AM. It was still visible at 7 AM, sun rising right after that. This morning it looked like two pieces, the leading edge and the tail. If you have binoculars, look....I am a stargazer. I couldn't believe my luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlady Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Oldjuggy, look to the southeast just before sunrise, 6:30 ish, and up to the left of the rising Sun. ISON is moving fast so I do not know where it can be sighted tomorrow. If it is clear you will not miss it. I have talked to many people today, and no one has seen it. Rare.
