Remember, the comet has two tails: The gaseous one that is pushed by the solar wind and the "heavier" matter trail which stays in the orbit line and isn't pushed by the solar wind.

Im saying that the trails we are seeing is just that of tiny fragmented rocks is left and thats going to fade to nothing.

theres no nucleas

So all those NASA experts on the vidwatch just got it wrong and went off to eat turkey? This is actually fun, and I may have to go back to some people I told and make the correction. Yowzer.

EDIT: Then again, the experts here seem pessimistic, so non-yowzer. And no fun.

I was hoping if I walked away from the computer for a while I would come back to good news, or better!!
Why is the broadcast off? I had been watching Nasa TV. Shouldnt they be talking about this NOW or all they all too busy?

Woot! Looks like it made it!!!!

The orbit round the sun, if that is the surviving Ison...dosnt look the same as the paths predicted for weeks now? IMO

Not as good as your picture but



late to the table, any turkey left?

LOL!!!

This is still counting down. Is this correct or just a projected est.?

Edit: Never mind, the site says it reports are it DID NOT MAKE IT!! I think I am too impatient.

Like i say its just the spiral from the debris that escaped the suns gravity for a short time.

Like pouring ink in a whirlpool, nothing solid.

All the fragments will "escape".
They will continue on the original orbit.

Yes, providing that the fragments that remain are not still vulnerable to the suns heat and lose further mass before getting out of the zone.

reply to post by Biigs

The mass is irrelevant but any fragments which vaporize will just blow away in the solar wind.

Thats exactly what i talking about when i say the tail end on the latest is not 'a comet' Ison but just the last of the high speed rubble as it breaks up in the high temprature and high speed. The initial break up would have been fierce.

I'll keep posting updated stills.




I'm no expert on these objects, just an observer

Sort of like a dirt clod falling apart.

Do the lottery this week fella, you'll have more chance of winning that than seeing this thing again

I'll remember you said that, and I will make sure to reply after ISON makes it's way back around from behind the Sun. Oh, and gambling is a fools game, good luck though. ~$heopleNation

Phage? How are you doing?

Glad you are Back!

I'm going to stop posting for a while so we can see where this is all going.

Wait... ISON survived? Or is this just what's left of it? Little bits of rubble?

I hope not - At least it looks positive!
