The celestial object will pass very close to the Sun in November 2013 and may be seen with the naked eye, because that could shine more than a full Moon

A supercomet passed near the Sun in November 2013 and will be able to observe with the naked eye until January 2014, until now astronomers russians who found it believe that may be brighter than the full Moon.

Appointed as the comet C/2012 S1 or ISON, in honor of the International Network of Science Optics (ISON, for its acronym in English), was found on September 21 through images captured with a reflector telescope of 40 centimetres.

The finding was confirmed by other people and by the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union in Masachusttes, which announced the discovery this week.

According to the ABC newspaper. The astronomers could track the comet images in December of 2011. Thus they could calculate that the orbit continues  the celestial object is directed toward the sun, by which becomes 2 million kilometers from the sun.  

his same calculation suggests that the origin of ISON is the belt that surrounds the Solar System

At present, the comet is close to the orbit of Jupiter, by what is seen as a small shining point in the sky at night.

ISON is comprised mostly of rock and ice, with what, when passing through the astro solar possibly disintegrate . To survive the tail will be even more brilliant than what has already been stated by the astronomers, who warn that these objects are unpredictable so there is no complete security of the luminous phenomenon happen.
