Comet PanSTARRS is the celestial event of March 2013.

Anticipation is building over Comet ISON's visit later this year. At closest approach, it may be one of the brightest comets in decades.

One of the best meteor showers is just around the corner, scheduled to reach its peak during the early hours of Tuesday, Dec. 14: The Geminid Meteors.

Clear skies over these next few nights and enough personal stamina to stay awake will afford a view of one of the flashiest meteor displays of the year: the Perseid Meteor Shower.
