Actually we will pass first through ISON”s departure tail then a few days later it’s entrance debris.

What is interesting is that there could be some consequence to this debris field in that it may not burn upon entry into our atmosphere but merely float.

Depending on what is left of the Comet and how large the Tail consumes this breakup could pose interesting consequences to our weather.

Highly hypothetical....but something to watch.

Yep, but unless there is a significant breakup and chunks hurled out of the debris field with a lot of velocity, I wouldn't expect much out of the exit - but there is that slight chance. The entry debris might present a better chance of seeing some debris meteors on earth as the entry of ISON crosses the elliptical just inside earth's orbit.

Definitely something to watch...
