I haven't, but I can guesstimate the debris is spreading out by several million miles per day, and that's just the visible stuff from the image above. n/2 X 30 days = significant departure from original trajectory for lots of pieces by the time it crosses earth's orbit. ;)

Good thing the inner solar system is a huge volume of space and let's hope there ain't no golden BBs in that pile of rubble. :)

I don't think scientists have ever witnessed anything quite like ISON!

Just heard...

the dust will follow the expected orbit/path and with aid can be visible.

Doomers full on with debris raining down from Fema area #3 to west coast. Killer debris that Nasa is withholding from us.

I'm thinking maybe the astronauts aboard the ISS have been going round and round too many times. :) Their pic doesn't look anything like what's left of ISON below.

Considering it’s traveling over 88k miles per hour still and it still 22 days out...I think it looks pretty good...lol
