Is Comet C/2012 S1 ISON on Track?
Comet C/2012 S1 ISON seen in the SOHO LASCO C3 instrument at 05:06 UT 28 November. Stars indicated for comparison with chart. | Chart of the predicted position of ISON at 05:06 UT 28 November |
There has been some rumination on the interwebs that comet ISON is off course. Here I show one of the latest SOHO images with the predicted position of ISON, using an old orbit. ISON is exactly where it should be; right next to delta Scorpii.
