If it survives a potentially disastrous encounter with the sun this week, Comet ISON will put on an impressive early morning display in the run up to Christmas. But anyone hoping for a Bethlehem-style celestial sign on the big day will be disappointed. The comet will probably be too faint to see with a naked eye by then.

An incoming comet that skygazers had hoped would provide one of the greatest celestial shows of the century, could be a fizzle.
