"NASA is hosting a media teleconference today to discuss Comet ISON’s journey through our solar system and what the public worldwide may see in the coming days as the comet traverses the sun on Thanksgiving Day. Discovered in late 2012, ISON will pass within 684,000 miles of the sun. The comet may contain the same fundamental building blocks that led to the formation of life on Earth about 3.5 billion years ago.
