WARNING: I had extra fun with this one. Ok. We're taking a look at Comet c/2012 s1 ISON on NASA's fleet of Cameras. We've got the Secchi the STEREO HI-1 & 2 Cameras. We've got Encke & ISON in a duet. Comets c/2012 s1 ISON, c/2013 R1 LOVEJOY, c/2012 X1 LINEAR & 2P ENCKE playing the 4 tops with the Sun as their audience. ISON looks large & quick. Venus has a wonderful off camera comet like ignition? Usually when Venus does this it is a triangle like Coma, but this time.

Many are anticipating the brightening of Comet ISON, which is now in Earth’s predawn sky, not far from the bright planets Jupiter and Mars, but too faint to see without telescopes and/or photographic equipment. Read more about Comet ISON here. In the meantime, on September 9, 2013, noted comet discoverer Terry Lovejoy of Australia announced another new comet, bringing his total number of comet discoveries to four. The newest Comet Lovejoy will be in the same part of the sky as Comet ISON beginning in November. What a cool photo opportunity!
