With apologies to Monty Python.

ISON is not pining for the Oort cloud! ISON has passed on! This comet is no more! He has ceased to be! ISON is expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a whiff of dust, a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch (or kept posting stupid YouTube videos) he’d be pushing up the daisies! His comet processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket. He’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-COMET!!

Below is a photo of a 7 gram object (shown in centre) shot at 7 km/s (the orbital velocity of the station) made this 15 cm crater in a solid block of aluminium.

Radar-trackable objects including debris, note distinct ring of GEO satellites.
