% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

July 3,2013 – This July Fourth the solar system is showing off some fireworks of its own.

Superficially resembling a skyrocket, comet ISON is hurtling toward the sun presently at a whopping 48,000 mph.

Its swift motion is captured in this time-lapse movie made from a sequence of pictures by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. At the time the images were taken, the comet was 403 million miles from Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Comet ISON Is Hurtling Toward The Sun At A Tremendous 48,000 mph

The movie shows a sequence of Hubble observations taken over a 43-minute span and compresses this into just five seconds.

The comet travels 34,000 miles in this brief video, or 7 percent of the distance between Earth and the moon.

The deep-space visitor streaks silently against the background stars.

Unlike a firework, the comet is not combusting, but in fact is pretty cold. Its skyrocket-looking tail is really a streamer of gas and dust bleeding off the icy nucleus, which is surrounded by a bright star-like-looking coma.

The pressure of the solar wind sweeps the material into a tail, like a breeze blowing a windsock.
