"I’m seeing some hot pixels and various smears in SDO images, but not comet ISON" says Phil Plait.

 

Aparrently no sign of ISON has emerged from behind the LASCO C2 solar disk, if so that is final confirmation comet ISON no longer exists.

Nitpicking but meteor shower. Meteorites and meteors are different.

Did you really need to, its called predictive text on my phone and a failure on my part for not proofreading 

[Boro Snow]

It must be a data bonanza for the scientists  heavy water and all that..

[Boro Snow]

Hmm-seeing some minor disruption coming round the bend in the LASCO C2 image

Compare the brightness before final approach a few hours ago

 

 

Probably just the vapourised cloud of the remnants?

Yes because the two are very commonly mixed up. So I really wasn't nitpicking come to think of it. Edited November 28, 2013 by Weather-history

Looking at this image you can still see Ison and this was only 30 mins ago, Something is telling me Ison is still Alive

 

[Mesosphere]

There may still be HOPE!!! Rumours afoot that whatever has survived seems to be getting brighter

[DAVID SNOW]
