Comet ISON update!

[DaveGarland]

Wasn't it supposed to go around the sun from our perspective? That looks like it's literally skimming the sun as though it would be slightly behind or in front?

So Tddun. What are we looking at here. Serious question.

What are your thoughts?

Paul

Well I wouldn't know.. I don't study this stuff. But whatever it is, it's getting brighter.

Comet Lovejoy is the one for me now and maybe Nevski will brighten up?

Hooray - that;s lifted my gloom

[JB80]

I have no idea if that's just a dust trail but don't go to bed just yet.

RIP ISON

That live google+ feed where they were showing live pics very close to the sun. They moved the camera over to where they thought Ison would be didn't they? NASA couldn't possibly have moved the camera the wrong way could they??? Lol.

[friedeggs]

holy *!%$ i had given up and only came back to ask if anyone knew what time any debris might show in lasco and i see this!

Hi! Just caught up with very entry in this thread, whats the best site for updates/streaming etc?

[paul mc c]

Just looking at the latest pics and looks like there is something there...

[DaveGarland]

I just opened me a beer. Who says astronomy is boring? Real or not I'm going to sit back and enjoy the ride. Cheers all

Well I would say that something came out the other side, although if it is Ison, its a shadow of its former self.

We'll have to wait for a few more frames.

It may have shed a few pounds in the sauna

oh nice find Tddun

and similar by JB80 ftp://sohoftp.nascom.nasa.gov/incoming/lasco/rtmovie_jpg24/20131128_2024_c2.jpg

So the show may not be over yet !

"Pheonix" and "till the fat lady sings" springs to mind.

edit

Oooops, I'm a page behind in the thread! such a busy, and interesting, time

[allcart]

At an interval of 12 minutes per frame, another half an hour should tell us whether its there or not.

[SnakeyJ]

Seems to be brightening up some in the latest C2

[MYLUCKYSTARS]

It's a shame it was interesting while it lasted & even quite exciting at times.

[allcart]

I can only get to frame 71, but I'd bet my wife that its ISON. What else could could be cutting through the solar streams like that.

I'm going to bet my mother-in-law it's actually Nibiru

This feed is incredible and invaluable. Such massive dissappoointment and now again optimism.... I hope were not let down again!

Wonder how much the comet has changed during perihelion?
