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.
