Scientists have sparked the enthusiasm once again for sky gazers after it was feared that comet ISON has fragmented or fizzled out. It has been revealed by scientists that the comet is making a quick approach towards earth.

Scientists were able to draw the above conclusion after capturing images of the comet using the professional telescope lens.

Astronomy enthusiast can expect the comet to be visible through the telescope by October end. It will even be visible to naked eye by November-end or first week of December, a period when the comet will be at its peak.

The comet was discovered by Russian scientists last year and there was uncertainty about the comet after it was revealed that the comet had fizzled out. However, the fears have been put on rest, as the comet has been reported to be bright and visible by the end of October.

Arvind Paranjpye, director, Nehru Planetarium, said, "Having crossed Mars in the beginning of the month, the comet will start getting visible over the eastern horizon around October 30 and one can spot it through the telescope about 40 minutes before sunrise".

Comets are actually dusty balls of ice. They usually originate from the Kuiper belt, which is a region of icy small bodies beyond Neptune.
