“Comet of the century.”
“Once in a lifetime event.”
These are some of the ways Comet ISON has been described recently. The comet is currently darting through the solar system and is expected to come within 730,000 miles of the Sun’s surface — right around the time when most Americans will be sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner.
