First time Comet-Comet-Essonne in the century Taiwan light show

Century-Essonne comets comets (C/2012 S1 (ISON, also for iZon Comet), early morning hours of August 26 in Taiwan showed up in the dawn! Central University Astronomical Observatory uses deer forest clearly observed 40 cm telescope images, estimated in November this year when close to the Sun, visible to the naked eye, for a long time the Comet observer in the northern hemisphere, is a great feast of astronomy.

Astronomy at National Central University has pointed out, the Essonne Comet image (superimposed four 180 seconds, depending on the size of 2.7 cents) is a Central University's Lulin Observatory Assistant Lin Qi was born in the early morning of August 26 captured less than 15 degrees of elevation, when it is from the Sun 2.26 Astro unit with 3.1 Astro flying above Earth. 1 astronomical unit for an average Earth-Sun distance, about 150 million kilometers.

Essonne Comet in September 2012, by the "international scientific optical networks" (ISON), first detected in the survey materials, followed by the empirical formula to push this Comet is about to become a great Comet of the century, or will be the man to see one of the most spectacular celestial. An observer in the northern hemisphere, in particular, in the famous Comet Hale-Bob (C/1995 O1 Hale-Bopp), no stars in the northern hemisphere wave observation boom.

Specializes in Comet Lin Zhongyi, an Assistant Professor of astronomy at National Central University stated that Essonne comets currently luminosity measured in 14~15 and so on, cannot be observed by the naked eye or binoculars, needs through large telescopes to find its traces, but with the Essonne comets near the Sun, it will gradually increase the brightness of light.

Astronomy, Essonne Comet discovered was estimated at perihelion (November 28 this year, about 1.1 million km from the Sun's surface) brightness can be more than the Moon, by monitoring for a long time and the maximum brightness has been practicing under the same as Vega (about 0 stars), but in any case, Essonne Comet will remain the neck by astronomy fans are looking forward to the second half of astronomical images.
