Comet ISON is Already Visible in North Eastern Skies – Image: Hubble Space Telescope
On August 10th, the time projected (tp) value calculated by NASA for perihelion (closest to the sun) was 2013-Nov-28.77833189. That’s the equivalent of November 28, 2013 at 18:40:47 UTC.
ISON’s size is only estimated at present but is thought to be around a few miles in diameter. This will become more apparent in the next few months as the comet continues its approach during 2013.
Astronomers who have been processing data from NASA’s Swift satellite, estimate the comet to be around 3 miles in diameter.
They have reached this conclusion by observing the amount of ice and dust emitted from ISON’s surface as it falls through space toward the Sun
ISON is currently between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but from Earth’s perspective, it appears behind the Sun’s glare. ISON entered the Sun’s glare back in June and should become observable by NASA’s equipment in 10th August
ISON’s average speed throughout August will be 60,462mph. It will continue to accelerate steadily until 28th November when it’ll whip around our Sun at an astonishing 425,000mph!
Over the past 5 days, between August 5th and August 10th, Comet ISON traveled a distance of approximately 0.076 AU.
0.076 AU = 7,064,641.35 miles
0.076 AU = 11,369,438.2 kilometers
That’s an average speed of roughly 1.41 million miles per day, or 2.27 million kilometers per day.
