Recent Comets, These Ones
The energetic pull of our local star
has nudged and pulls it from Oort Cloud
Comet ISON (C/2012) later named
starting from 25000 AUs
journeyed 5.5 million years to neighbor planets
Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury
and looped ever so close around the sun
– November 28th ,
a sungrazer at 0.012 AU, fatally too close.
Another comet is still incoming towards our neighborhood,
Comet LoveJoy (C/2013) is still bright
as it travels to our local star
with a broad berth at 0.812 AU away from our sun,
a loop around the sun on December 25th
It’s bright image expected to shine
Dec / Jan / Feb / March
and centuries to come
ALL on its grand orbit to return.
