These images from @Stephanie Anderson's Spitzer Space #Telescope of #Comet ISON were taken on June 13, 2013, when ISON was 312 million miles (502 million kilometers) from the sun. The lefthand image shows a tail of fine rocky dust issuing from the comet, blown back by the pressure of sunlight. The image at right shows a neutral gas atmosphere surrounding ISON, likely created by carbon dioxide fizzing off the comet at a rate of 2.2 million pounds per day. See Explanation.

Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust roughly the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the sun, it heats up and spews dust and gases into a giant glowing head larger than most planets. The dust and gases form a tail that stretches away from the sun for millions of kilometers (photo NASA)

April 14, 1996: The Rotating Jets of Comet Hyakutake - Credit: James A DeYoung (USNO), USNO's 24-inch Telescope - Explanation: Comet Hyakutake will reach its closest point to the Sun on May 1, passing well inside the orbit of Mercury. At this time, the comet's dust and ion tail will be at their greatest physical length. As the comet nears the Sun, gas and dust are driven off the surface, sometimes being shot off in jets. More...

Description The Lumicon 1.25", 2", and 2" Cassegrain, Comet Filters, are narrow band-pass filters (25nm), that isolate the 501nm OIII line and both C2 lines at 511nm and 514nm. The high contrast of the filter reveals the delicate ionized tail of gaseous comets, allowing you to see their full extent. The Comet Filter also helps you to better distinguish gaseous comets from dusty comets, which normally show little contrast gain. The Cassegrain filter cell threads onto your telescope's SCT rear-cel
Asteroid P/2013 R3
NASAÕs Hubble Space Telescope provides a close-up look of Comet ISON (C/2012 S1), on April 10,2013. At the time, the comet was slightly closer than JupiterÕs orbit at a distance of 386 million miles from the sun. The cometÕs dusty coma, or head of the comet, is approximately 3,100 miles across, or 1.2 times the width of Australia. A dust tail extends more than 57,000 miles, far beyond HubbleÕs field of view. ISON stands for International Scientific Optical Network, a group of observatories in te

These images from Spitzer Space Telescope of Comet ISON were taken on June 13, 2013 about 500 million kilometers from the sun. Left: A tail of fine rocky dust issuing from the comet (the tail points away from the sun). Right: The first detection of a neutral gas atmosphere surrounding ISON, most likely created by carbon dioxide that is "fizzing" from the surface.

❤ =^..^= ❤ How To See Comet Lovejoy Tonight | Sky & Telescope Shooting remotely with a 12-inch f/3.6 astrograph in Namibia, Gerald Rhemann in Austria took these multi-frame mosaics in late December to document the rapidly changing tail of Comet Lovejoy across seven days. They're not in order; from left to right, they were taken on December 28, 23, 21, 22, and 27. They're not at the same scale.
