Comet ISON's Moment of Truth Arrives
The comet, now traveling at a fraction of the speed of light, will face scorching heat and extreme gravitational forces as it approaches perihelion, 1:37PM (Eastern) today.
NASA has a Google Hangout today from 1:00 to 3:30 with live updates, and a mirror for the LASCO 3 camera (the direct link keeps crashing from traffic) can be found here.
Oh and most important, this page will have "live" images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, aiming to capture the comets entry and exit.
Here's hoping ISON can bring it.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
