The Approach of Comet Nevski-Novichonok (Comet ISON)

Will Comet ISON (C/2012 S1) rival Comet Ikeya-Seki (C/1965 S1)?


Comments:

"Comet Nevski-Novichonok?" That's sounds a lot better than "ISON"— let's do it!
The ISON team will mostly likely discover other comets. So,<br>are they to be named ISON2, ISON3,. . ., ISONn? Why deny<br>the discovers credit just because their names may be difficult<br>to pronounce in English? Ikeya-Seki doesn't just roll of the<br>tongue either.
