Comet Ison

The Comet Ison is currently of magnitude 10á11 and beyond earlier expectations. However for astronomers it could still be interesting to watch the morning sky near Mars. Other ways of observing are done using the sun observation satellites as from next week. See attached link to follow this exciting period or observe yourself using a small telescoop.
