The second coming?

'Astronomers hope that on 3 December a comet will appear on the eastern horizon - Comet Ison'

And just in time for the evening kick off v Barnsley at the Amex. It's a SIGN I tell's thee!

So if it explodes will it be renamed comet ITSGONE ?

The soothsayers are predicting Spanish Len won't return until mid December though.

What's the big bright star currently over the Isle of Wight?

I'm struggle to believe there's 3 wise men and a virgin, over there.

Must have missed the ferry back to the mainland

That'll be Jupiter

There's a programme about this on BBC2 at 9:15.

That is all.

ISON just hit 170,000 mph

 

[Danny-Boy]

Don't remember seeing Iseya-Seki in 1965; Halleys was a wash-out or more accurately a cloudout in 1986; Hale-Bopp in 1997 was good though.

Ison has come from the Oort cloud, a belt of comets on the very edge of the Solar System, where it has been for the last 4.6 billion years.
Blimey

This one won't be as good as any of those, sadly.

ISON just hit 170,000 mph

Nearly as fast as LuaLua

Looks like it didn't make it around the sun:

RIP ISON

Would have been fun to have seen it - and a reason to get up and out early mornings in December. Oh Well!

They said that might happen

RIP dear ISON

Liked Icarus you ventured too close......

Although I never met you, I feel like I knew you thanks to the media coverage. Maybe Elton will write a tune about you one day? My loss is deep and I will learn the lesson you failed to. Don't **** with the Sun!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

RIP babes. Rest wiv da angles.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Yep. Faded away. As seagullsovergrimbsy put it ... just like LuaLua.
