  1. On November 28, 2013, the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) spacecraft will off-point at three different positions as Comet ISON moves through perihelion. This website will display near realtime images and movies of this sungrazing comet. Images should begin appearing sometime between 12:45 pm and 1:00 pm ET.

  2. Has it disintegrated!

     

    "Hi All,

    Comet ISON has been closely monitored at the IRAM millimeter telescope in
    Spain by Israel Hermelo (IRAM Granada) and myself (Caltech/NRAO) for the
    last 6 days. We observe consistent, rapid fading of the molecular emission
    lines between Nov. 21 and Nov. 25 by at least a factor of 20 (likely
    more). This may indicate that the nucleus is now at best marginally active
    or that... it no longer exists.

    Regards,
    Michal"

  3. Its going to keep all forms of observations of this unique event on their toes and hopefully shed some light to some unanswered questions as to that has questioned how we got here but for me i hope its going to be a spectacular sight in our cosmic sky on its one time passage via Earth. Its so vast out there its hard to to get to grips with it all.
