Comet Ison Animation

[robbie c]

I had this sent to me so thought I'd post it for others to see, its very good and shows you when you can see Ison with scope and naked eye and shows you its path around the sun and when it heads back out into space (assuming it survives it trip around the sun). if you watch it in a darked room a few times your see it against the Milky Way background.http://www.solarsystemscope.com/ison/ Hope you enjoy

That's a rather nice animation. Cheers for posting that one.

It appears that in mid January we'll be passing through the inbound comet's path.

Does anyone know, are we likely to get a good meteor shower at that point?

Cheers
