This Discovery Channel Canada Special Presentation chronicles the journey of Comet ISON, an incredible relic from the outer solar system that has just ended its perilous journey towards the sun, where it met a deadly fate, leaving behind decades worth of unprecedented science.

Hunt for a Super Comet will take viewers on a dramatic journey from Comet ISON's beginnings to its eventual demise.

We track this super comet with the world's leading experts as they race against time, using the latest in technology and space science to launch balloon missions, sounding rockets; airborne observatories and assets on other planets to hunt for this super comet. It is hosted by Daily Planet's Dan Riskin, on location at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona.
