Just saw a post on ATS of a tweat attributed to Nick Howes of the Remanzacco Observatory stating that ISON's nucleus has been estimated to be approximately 20 km across.

That puts it well above average and should mean it will put on a great show this fall, if true.

Yeah but it’s a virgin comet...

It’s just as likely to be a vapor trail of 100k miles and nothing else....as it passes near thanks to a few sunny rays..lol
