ISON ALERT. Changing Fast.

 A much-anticipated and potentially spectacular comet is nearing the sun, and it’s possible everybody in the U.S. will have a chance to see it on the morning after Thanksgiving. The latest observations, however, suggest it may not live up to its promises. A few months ago, some optimists labeled Comet ISON “the Comet of the Century” or, in the wildest prediction, the most brilliant in human history. But now the question is: Will the “Great Comet” dazzle or simply fizzle? Not so long ago, some experts predicted it would be brighter than the full moon — so bright it might be visible in the daytime. Astronomers started backing off those predictions a few months ago as Comet ISON continued its long journey inward to the sun. ”Its brightness was not increasing the way it should be if it was going to be spectacular,” said Seth Jarvis, director of Clark Planetarium. “But, nor was it a complete dud.”
