An Early Morning of Comet-watching and Stargazing at the UW-Platteville Cooper Living and Learning Center Saturday, November 16th, 2013, from 5-7 AM Sponsored by the UW-Platteville Department of Engineering Physics and presented by astronomer Dr. Paul Strycker. Binoculars will be provided for individual use during the event. Planets, a nebula and Comet ISON will be shown through a telescope. Be sure to arrive by 5:45 AM if you want to see the comet! Hot chocolate, coffee and donuts will be provided! Inclement weather would result in an indoor event at the Cooper Living and Learning Center for informal discussions about Comet ISON and tools for observing the night sky. Comet Image by Damian Peach
Comet ISON will encounter the Sun this Thanksgiving Day. The best viewing of this comet may be after it passes the Sun, but the encounter may also destroy it. Come see this comet before it reaches the Sun! http://www.universetoday.com/104818/
