Scientists were able to capture pictures of the ISON comet this past spring using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope according to a report by Space.com.

The image, which was put together from five different photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope back on April 30, shows the comet soaring in front of a backdrop of galaxies and some of the brightest stars.

The five images were captured by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 UVIS according to Space.com.

Three different exposures were made using a filter that "transmits" yellow and green light, but seen as blue in the photo.

"The result is part science, part art," said Josh Sokol of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., which runs Hubble, in a blog post last week. "It's a simulation of what our eyes, with their ability to dynamically adjust to brighter and fainter objects, would see if we could look up at the heavens with the resolution of Hubble."

ISON is reportedly moving towards a close encounter with the sun as it will pass just 724,000 miles above the solar surface on November 28.

The comet could potentially shine as bright as the full moon during that time period.

A number of comets don't survive trips around the sun due to heat, and scientists believe the same thing may happen to ISON.

The comet was first discovered in September 2012 according to Space.com.

Scientists believe that ISON is making its first-ever trip into the inner solar system from the frigid Oort Cloud.
