Next year, there will be a comet so bright, we'll be able to see it in the daytime!
The comet is known as C/2012 S1 and it is coming close to Earth next year. When it was first sighted in September, it was 625 million miles away from earth
The comet is known as C/2012 S1 and it is coming close to Earth next year. When it was first sighted in September, it was 625 million miles away from earth
. A little over a year from now, on November 28 2013, the comet will come within 800,000 miles from the Sun's surface, which could make it bright enough to be visible for a short time in the middle of the day!
Scientists believe that this comet might even be the same as one sighted in the year 1680,which also put a dazzling show. Scientists say that on November 28th of next year, the comet will whirl rapidly around the Sun in a hairpin-like curve and become extremely bright. Then, it will be visible in the evening sky after sunset and in the morning sky before sunrise. Here's hoping we get a good show!
