dripley Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Checked it out and it did not make it. I remember watching comet Hale/Bopp(think I got that right)many years ago. It was interesting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was interesting to watch. Yep. 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. I bet there is still a lot of great info to be gained even though it is no more.

anoldbiker Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 This is one that should have shot a satellite to land and send back info from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Wild and Free Posted November 29, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2013 Seems they are reconsidering if it is truly dead, read a couple news stories this morning already and they think it is still in tact. http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/comet-ison-may-have-survived/ http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/29/us/ison-comet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnTom Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yea, I saw the video on the evening news. It would be cool to see it live!That video shows one hell of a large coronal mass ejection right at the beginning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnTom Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Speculation is that it may break up in a few days too. Maybe it will be enough to see with the naked eye around Christmas time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Mopar1973Man Posted December 5, 2013 Administrator Share Posted December 5, 2013 Even my link shows that it was destroyed. I kind of doubt it yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnTom Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 NASA says it survived. It is small, but it is still there: http://www.nasa.gov/ison/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
