Hopefully next week ( or so ) - it 's just a matter of it surviving it's encounter with the Sun in the next few days.
If it does appear, it will be in the sky until mid-January.

What are the chances the comet is signed up by Golden Girls?

Comet ISON heads towards the sun.

View from the SOHO sun observation satellite :

It seems that the full-time result is Sun 1 Comet 0 and it's no more.The BBC are reporting: "Telescopes saw the giant ball of ice and dust disappear behind the star, but only a dull streamer emerge.
Astronomers continued to search for the object, but it eventually became clear that the much vaunted "Comet of the Century" had gone out with a whimper.
Despite its great size, Ison was probably torn apart in the immense heat and tidal forces so close to the Sun.
The European Space Agency's experts on the Soho Sun-watching satellite called the death of the comet at about 21:30 GMT.
"Our Soho scientists have confirmed, Comet Ison is gone," Esa's twitter feed announced."
Even if it had survived, it wasn't expected to be as spectacular as first thought as it wasn't brightening as expected.
Oh well, better luck next time

What a waste.
RE: Comet ISON watch (another heavenly body!) - mr williams - 28-11-2013 22:28
It's weird to think that it was four and a half billion years old - older than the Earth - and had flown goodness knows how many trillions of miles without mishap only to be snuffed out in a matter of hours.

Maybe start another thread in 76 years,then.

What happens in 76 years time? In any event news reports today say that ISON may have survived after all.
