Awsome Movie Captured By STEREO-A Of Comets ISON & Encke.

You've GOT to see this!!!

BOTH Comets ISON and Encke in the NASA STEREO-A HI-1 field of view!
It's about 4.7MB so it might take a moment to load. Check out the beautiful dance of both those tails!

Click on the pic in the link. And read the link too as it's interesting.

The conspiracy theorists out there are going to be all over this aren't they.

That's a great video. Seeing the comet tails wiggle in the solar wind. Very cool.

ISON and SOHO

SOHO's LASCO C2 and C3 coronagraphs are expected to have a view of the comet as it passes through their fields-of-view, as shown in the link below.
From SOHO's viewpoint the comet enters from the lower right early on November 27 and exits towards the top near the end of November 30.
