Comet ISON has an outburst!

SpaceWeather.com is reporting today (November 14, 2013) that Comet ISON brightened substantially last night (November 13, 2013) and is it now nearing the threshold of visibility.

Apparently, Comet ISON has surged in brightness by approximately 2 magnitudes in little more than 24 hours. If the trend continues, it could be a faint but easy naked-eye object by the end of the week.
