Comet ISON update!

[Ptarmigan]

What I can't understand though, why was there was literally nothing in the live broadcast? I joked about it, but DID they move the camera the wrong way?

Hmmm, metric and imperial ? Oh no, we all have Babylonian degrees now, dont we ?

All things are poss. but perhaps just down to exposure control ? ( like I get my ISOs wrong frequently !! )

I mean the orbit has been known for quite a while in fine detail, but brightness estimates, in all wavelengths, has been the bummer.

Comet ISON is dead! Long live the Sun!

Well I for one, am celebrating the supreme power of the Sun. Comet ISON vapourised by our mighty star.

Whilst we all missed a great sight in our night skies, which is a shame, just contemplate the awesome force of what we take for granted - the giver and taker of life.

[allcart]

Give it an hour and it will be ressurected. then they will call it the Jesus comet coz it will be here for Christmas.

[dwr3000]

Unless it was JB80's Death Star, in which case we're all in big trouble. he he he

A slug of 'rubble'?

[leader of the starry skys]

on the original video it shows it goes round the sun and almost double backs on it self,     on these pictures if it has survived but lost a lot of weight it seems to be going of in a different direction , am I right

[lukebl]

Definitely looks like something of it has survived?

The 2124 shot appears to be more dispersed/dimmer at the lead point.

Perhaps Comet Icarus after all

Agreed, we are all getting caught up in the excitement and clutching at straws IMO

[tyemut]

Is it a case of I'm Comet Ison get me out of here !!

[friedeggs]

Yes those first two lasco images of it reappearing got me really excited. Looks disappointing at 21:24 though. Will stay with it a bit longer though

[Luke]

ISOFF I fear.   Fire 1 - 0 Ice

[MYLUCKYSTARS]

It was quite interesting to hear that a small bit survived after a bit of a downer.

[Laurie61]

The latest c2.

[SnakeyJ]

21:48 C2 definitely seems to be spreading:
