Looks a bit like fertilization to me.

Hey, neat.

Also, the movment of Encke’s tail is very interesting. I never thought of a comet’s tail having that kind of motion.

Went out this morning to Ft. Pulaski to try to catch something, ANYTHING.

I did see Comet Lovejoy. It’s almost overhead at 5:00am and approaching the tail of the dipper.

I saw Mercury and Saturn rise (along with skyglow), but, I was fighting a band of clouds and said skyglow, so I may have not or I may have seen the nucleus of ISON.

Too Much glow now, have to wait til it gets brighter or further away from the Sun.

BTW, when I got home this morning, the band of clouds had parted and I got a nice view of Mercury before Sunrise.

So, is this thing finally visible to the naked eye?

Sun is to the right, why is Earth inside Mercury’s orbit? Or what am I missing here?

ISON backwards is NOSI
