Mark this on your calendar... Sometime before Christmas 2013 (okay, maybe it's a ways off but I think this could be worth preparing for), "A newly discovered comet could offer a once-in-a-civilization night-sky viewing opportunity that may not come again in our lifetime." Sounds kinda neat, huh?
They just recently discovered Comet ISON (C/2012 S1), and right now it's just a tiny spec out there. They dubbed it the "Christmas Miracle Comet," (I like that.) and say it could be as bright as a full moon. See, this sucker is gonna be an event and worthy of your planning efforts.
Did the Mayans see it coming, too?
ReplyDeleteI wondered about that myself. It's projected about a year after their calendar ends, but one just never knows, does one?
