Cruising through the suns upper atmosphere can be hazardous to your health (even if you are a 3 mile wide comet)....

Sounds from the scientists in the article that chances are good she’s a goner.

There will still be debris traveling along the same trajectory for millenia. That would make for some good to excellent meteor showers when the Earth crosses their path................

Did you happen to see the cool hour special on Nova awhile back about ISON? The only reason I know anything about it.

The Enterprise did it lots of times.................. My Gosh! You figured out what happened to the comet! It made the loop around the sun ala Star Trek IV and got sent back in time, that why it appears to just be a fading blur as it passes the sun.

"Never one to follow convention, ISON lived a dynamic and unpredictable life, alternating between periods of quiet reflection and violent outburst," Battams, an astrophysicist, wrote. So many astrophysicists that aren't completely left-brained have such a way with language, music, and the arts. That's sure an interesting way to describe a comet. :-)

This was taken today by the crew on the space station... ISON looks quite the comet on this shot. LOL, that's no "dead" comet!

Wow.
What a photo. Thanks. I know it’s from a previous posting, but I didn’t copy that so thanks to that poster also.
Great photo.
