Comets Ison & Lovejoy in a sky map pdf link by skyandtelescope website; find & see them in now!

We can see Comet Lovejoy under The Big Dipper (Ursa Major) over the next two weeks, from most of USA, and Comet Ison will best be viewed from southern states early mornings before sunrise, under the constellation of Virgo, in the East.



That's a great picture of Ison from early morning today in Louisiana , seen at this link Ison Picture on skyandtelescope's website, and they provide a PDF file that has a star map for finding both Comets in the sky from Nov 15th to Nov 29th here for anyone that is interested.

they go on to say......

"Just what this event signals for the future of C/ISON, with it now exactly two weeks from perihelion, is difficult to say. Over the next few days it should become apparent whether this event is the result of a single massive release of new volatiles; the nucleus having fractured; or perhaps even a dramatic permanent, sustainable, uptick in the comet's overall brightness."

Yeah, and round as a billiard ball, at that!
Really odd/unique looking comet, eh?

If thats a naked eye picture that is unbelievably beautiful. I've said it before and ill say it again, it reminds me instantly and every time of the Blue Star Kachina prophecy.
