Assuming that Comet ISON survives, here's where to look for it in pre-dawn skies during December. The Sky & Telescope chart is drawn for skywatchers near 40 degrees latitude (Denver, New York, Madrid) but should serve for most northern temperate latitudes. The blue 10-degree scale is about the width of your fist held at arm's length. Check SkyandTelescope.com for more charts and updates.

One of the most dramatic pictures of Comet ISON is this view from the European Southern Observatory's TRAPPIST telescope in Chile, which was captured Nov. 15.

Thanks.

“Will comet Ison beat the odds?”

My cousin Mike told me he beat the odds on slot machines. He claimed that he won every time he played a slot machine. Turns out it was pay toilets.
