Comet Ison 'destroyed in Sun pass'

This has been called too early, comets are very unpredictable and ISON appears to be brightening again as it loops around: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5480/11106507235_ec20b425d7_o.... (apparently the same thing happened with comet lovejoy).

Somewhat up to date information is being posted to this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1rn7fb/rspace_comet_i...

AFAIK the dust trail was expected to continue along the original path - it would brighten too as it caught the light, but I understand there is no nucleus visible.

Yeah, something's coming through at least: https://twitter.com/CometISONnews/status/406205195253583872

Hopefully we'll get another Comet Ison (i.e. another comet by the ISON telescope network).

I don't think this one should get exclusive rights to the name any further :)

What an anti-climax. I'm sure everyone in the hacker news community was eagerly anticipating the skies in December.

The latest picture is pretty bright for just dust...
