A Solar Voyage | Comet Encounter: Chapter 7

As the final days count down, Comet Ison nears the most dangerous leg of its journey, a brief, rapid revolution around the sun. Comets graze the sun's atmosphere all the time, but the space around the sun is volatile and few ever escape the orbit. Will Ison be devoured by the heat, or will it survive to give us a spectacular show in the night sky?
