A Comet is Coming

A Comet is Coming and Will Sprinkle the Earth with Cosmic  Dust Showers

The comet is known as ISON and is made up of frozen gases mixed with dust. The brightness of the comic missile will depend on the evaporation rate of dust and water. The comet is three miles long and shedding 112 pounds of dust and 130 pounds of water per-minute. When it passes earth it can cause a meteor shower devised of dust. The comet will be close to earth during Thanksgiving week of 2013. Scientist are planning to observe  the comet with a helium filled balloon called the BRRISON project. The balloon will have a telescope. Observers will be able to see the dust showers with the naked eye as it streaks closest to earth on November 28th.
