The comet has most likely disintegrated under the high heat and gravitational stress of the Sun on Nov. 28, 2013. It is not visible in Solar Dynamics Observatory footage and NASA scientists confirmed that they do not see it.

This is the most interesting part of this....SDO did not see the comet as it went through it perihelion...

It emerged and is doing okay....now the question is this; The SDO imaging is based on capturing and recognizing oxygen reactions. So if ISON is made of ice why did it not see it?

That is the question of the day if indeed the latest images confirm ISON survived.
