   COMET ISON UPDATE: Comet ISON is now ten times brighter than it was on Nov.   
   13-14 when an unexpected outburst propelled the sundiver into the realm of   
   naked-eye visibility. Observers around the world confirm seeing the comet as a   
   faint smudge low in the eastern sky before sunrise.  Backyard telescopes   
   reveal a riot of gaseous streamers trailing behind the comet's brightening   
   (and possibly fragmenting) core. With almost two weeks to go before ISON   
   plunges into the sun's atmosphere, it is already one of the most beautiful and   
   active comets in years. Current images and observing tips may be found at

   DON'T MISS THE NEXT SOLAR FLARE: Lately, solar activity has been high. Would   
   you like a call when solar flares are underway? X-flare alerts are available   
   from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com   
   (voice).
