Comet Encounter

A documentary about the comet ISON, which is anywhere from one to 10 kilometers in diameter. Its orbit will take it around the sun and, when that occurs, one of three things may happen: it will emerge brighter than before, evaporate completely or break into a “string of pearls” (a series of small comets)., Join scientists for the the biggest space show of the last 100 years as they examine breathtaking footage of comet ISON as it hurtles towards Earth., With incredible new footage, we take a close look at the massive comet that passed Earth’s orbit in 2013, creating the space show of the century.
