Great Comets from Humble Origins & Eyes on ISON

Great Comets from Humble Origins & Eyes on ISON
Dr. Frank Summers, Space Telescope Science Institute

Comets can be one of the most amazing sights in the heavens, with bright, naked-eye comas and tails stretching across half the sky. The most spectacular comet appearances are called “great” comets, but such an occurrence is infrequent enough that it is also nicknamed a “comet of the century.” In preparation for the Thanksgiving Day perihelion passage of Comet ISON, along with its great possibilities, it’s a proper time to examine the humble origins, from the most rural parts of the solar system, of these briefly blazing celestial visitors.

Hubble Observes Six Tails from an Unusual Asteroid

Posted by

On November 7th, the Space Telescope Science Institute released observations of an asteroid, designated P/2013 P5 that showed six comet-like tails of dust radiating from it like spokes on a wheel.

These results were extremely surprising and astronomers found it hard to believe they were looking at an asteroid.

Please join us as we discuss this discovery with Dr. David Jewitt from UCLA, the team lead of the researchers who made the #Hubble observations, along with +Max Mutchler +Tony Darnell +Alberto Conti +Ian O’Neill and +Scott Lewis
