Comet ISON viewing opportunity

<p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica;">Pretlow Planetarium invites you to a telescopic viewing of comet ISON on Tuesday Nov 19 between 5:00 AM and sunrise at the King Neptune statue, VA Beach. The comet has brightened significantly in recent days. It will &lsquo;graze&#39; the Sun on Thanksgiving Day and may not survive the encounter, so this may be the best chance to see it. Also visible in the pre-dawn sky will be comet Lovejoy, Jupiter and its moon, Mars, and the Great Nebula in Orion. Families and friends are welcome.</span></p>
