Can I See ISON?

-- Don't look for ISON during the day on Nov. 28. NASA spacecraft will watch it and we'll post images here, including near real time images from SDO starting at 12:45 p.m. EST.  As always, never look directly at the sun.
-- If it doesn't break up, ISON will be visible near the horizon in early December. Look to the East before sunrise and to the Northwest after sunset. Watch the "What's Up?" Video for more details.
