Comet ISON Video Update

Hey Space Placers!

Here is an excellent video that explains Comet ISON and what is to come as the comet gets closer and closer to the Sun: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/skyblog/observingblog/Comet-ISON-video-223911871.html

Amateur astronomers are observing and photographing the comet now and its speed has increased to over 70,000+ miles per hour. Comet ISON's speed will continue to increase as it gets closer to the Sun.

The next big event is October 1 when Comet ISON passes by very close to Mars. Every spacecraft and mission will be looking to the Martian skies to catch a glimpse of ISON.
