Comet ISON is doing just fine!

11/15/2013

 
Many of us are yet to have their first glance of ISON. People have started considering ISON’s performance as poor. Many resource sites have also given update in that line. But not everything is that bad. See what the latest update by Comet ISON Observing Campaign of NASA says. “Comet ISON is doing just fine! .’ It also says “By far the best opportunity for naked-eye viewing of the comet will be in early-to-mid December as it climbs back into the night skies. Of course, this is all dependent on it reaching and surviving perihelion... “ But more exciting thing is- we now have X-ray detection of comet ISON from the NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory.

You may see the Global observation report (Red dots) plotted on the prediction (Black line). Many of the latest observations are almost on predicted line. Though many others found the brightness as much lower than the predicted level.
