C/2012 S1 may out shine the moon upon arrival

Comet

Quote:

Doomsayers disappointed by 2012's non-apocalypse will get a sop in 2013 in the form of a rare supercomet. Once widely seen as a portent of doom, comets are seldom as spectacular as the new arrival, known as C/2012 S1 (ISON), may be. At its peak it may outshine the moon, even by day.

I can recall seeing a comet back in the 90's (don't remember the name) and it was visible but quite faint. Seeing one as bright as the moon should be a pretty impressive sight. I hope it lives up to the hype.
