So that sperm connected eh, wonder what the baby will be like?
what lesson will be learned from it ?
This one acted sort of like a dirty snowball.
That all comets are not just dirty snowballs!
The only people that claim that would seem to be the EC crowd.
That we must now use the We do not really know everything their is about comets
Comet ISON has now reached its closest point to the Sun. The Distance should start to increase again and the speed start falling.
Hopefully, Comet ISON will have survived this close brush with the Sun so we'll be able to see it in all its glory throughout December as it heads up and over Earth at a distance of 40,000,000 miles.
Update: Despite there being great hope for Comet ISON, it appears it disappeared behind the Sun today never to emerge again. Comet ISON has been destroyed by the intense heat and activity of our star, the Sun.

From a scientific perspective, quite a lot.
From an ATS perspective, not a thing. The next comet will produce the same nonsense.
maybe it faded because it is now on the other side of the sun.it may brighten more once it leaves the suns atmosphere..
