UPDATE 11/29/13 ISON MAY HAVE SURVIVED. Read about it here.

Comet ISON probably has not survived this journey,” Karl Battams with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the NASA Comet ISON Observing Campaign told the live video at the Google + hangout today. The comet has not emerged from the far side of the sun it appears as Monty Python put it…it is no more.
There was high hope for a spectacular show in December if ISON survived the journey. What could have been a truly spectacular event has been boiled away by the heat of the sun. Hopefully we will get another chance for an event which will live up to expectations in the not to distant future.
