A newly discovered comet, ISON, is predicted to be visible to the naked eye on November 28th of 2013.
It should be visible to amateur stargazers with low-power telescopes and binoculars as early as August 2013. It is predicted to possibly become as bright as the full moon if it survives its perihelion (closest passing to the Sun). It will be an event written into history books.
Another comet, PANSTARRS, is predicted to be visible in March 2013.
