According to the forecasts of astronomers, in the coming year the super-comet will meet the sun. The comet does not have a name yet, it is assigned only with the number C/2012 S1 (ISON). At peak times the brightness of the comet will eclipse the moon and it will shine even in daylight. While the brightest comet before this time was a comet Hale-Bopp, which could be seen in 1997, but the new one will be significantly brighter.

According to the ISON-NM observatory, which first discovered the comet, if it is not destroyed on the approach, as the comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin) was, it will be the brightest comet of the decade, 1PRE.RU writes.
