The comet that will make its closest approach to the sun on November 28th, had its picture taken by the Hubble telescope on April 10th.

The comet, ISON, named after the Russian-led International Scientific Network, is only about three or four miles across, but is shedding dust particles off of its surface facing the sun as its surface warms. Those dust particles have created a coma or tail 3,100 miles across and extends out from the comet more than 57,000 miles.

The image with this article was taken with visible light, and only recorded overall light, but a false color of blueish hues was used to bring out the details and varying brightness of the comet’s structure. When the image was snapped, the comet was slightly closer to the sun than Jupiter’s orbit at 386 million miles away from the sun’s surface.

The comet will probably become the “Comet of the Century” during the time it reaches its closest approach to the sun and will outshine the moon. Currently, the comet is below detectability of the human eye.

The comet is barreling toward the sun at a speed of 47,000 miles per hour.
