National Geographic Abu Dhabi will air a special programme on the ‘Comet of the Century’ tomorrow (November 28).

Reaching speeds as high as 684,000 km per hour, Comet Ison has been billed by astronomers as the Comet of the Century.

"But, for those of us who can’t tell cosmic cool from meteoric mediocrity, here’s a crash course in comets, just how amazing Ison is and why we won’t be needing Bruce Willis for planetary protection," said a statement..

National Geographic Abu Dhabi will introduce the comet with breath-taking images captured using cutting edge technology.

Comet of the Century is produced for National Geographic Channels International by Darlow Smithson Productions.
