ISON Only Dust Remains Says NASA: ESA Movie Shows ISON's Solar Encounter,
ISON made its closest approach to the Sun during the evening of 28 November, passing just 1.2 million kilometres from the Sun’s visible surface.
After several days of continued observations, scientists continue to work to determine and to understand the fate of Comet ISON: There’s no doubt that the comet shrank in size considerably as it rounded the sun and there’s no doubt that something made it out on the other side to shoot back into space. The question remains as to whether the bright spot seen moving away from the sun was simply debris, or whether a small nucleus of the original ball of ice was still there. Regardless, it is likely that it is now only dust.
Comet ISON comes in from the bottom right and moves out toward the upper right, getting fainter and fainter, in this time-lapse image from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. The image of the sun at the center is from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.

Comet ISON, which began its journey from the Oort Cloud some 3 million years ago, made its closest approach to the sun on Nov. 28, 2013. The comet was visible in instruments on NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, and the joint European Space Agency/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, via images called coronagraphs.
Coronagraphs block out the sun and a considerable distance around it, in order to better observe the dim structures in the sun’s atmosphere, the corona. As such, there was a period of several hours when the comet was obscured in these images, blocked from view along with the sun. During this period of time, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory could not see the comet, leading many scientists to surmise that the comet had disintegrated completely. However, something did reappear in SOHO and STEREO coronagraphs some time later – though it was significantly less bright.
Whether that spot of light was merely a cloud of dust that once was a comet, or if it still had a nucleus – a small ball of its original, icy material – intact, is still unclear. It seems likely that as of Dec. 1, there was no nucleus left. By monitoring its changes in brightness over time, scientists can estimate whether there’s a nucleus or not, but our best chance at knowing for sure will be if the Hubble Space Telescope makes observations later in December 2013.
Regardless of its fate, Comet ISON did not disappoint researchers. Over the last year, observatories around the world and in space gathered one of the largest sets of comet observations of all time, which should provide fodder for study for years to come. The number of space-based, ground-based, and amateur observations were unprecedented, with twelve NASA space-based assets observing over the past year.

To some it will live on, to them doom is still coming, regardless of the comet evaporating.
Wow….. Where are all the Niburu mongers now?
ISON separated into components, too small to show up on camera. Each component went to a different part of the solar system, each with a different task. Nibiru is moving away from our solar system.
They completed the task at hand which was to divert Niburu.
It’s what happens to most comets. It of course wont stop the doom and gloom people from their determination to spew utter codswallop at every available opportunity, to justify their doom and gloom.
The real doom is not Ison but the real doom is the economic collapse .
Jan 12-Jan14th is when the dust of ISON will drift into Earth’s upper atmosphere which still might make some great visual highlights. Vee shall Zee…maybe.
we are supposed to believe nasa
Try and tell that to the dinosaurs!

And you know this because……. the foil hat that you wear?
Niburu is moving away? but…….
Ahhhh….
Each with a different task?…
task of what? becoming more more crap floating around?
Mr. Fred Roger, NIBIRUS was the false translation use to identify the word Comet, if I remember the man name was Zackarias or something like that. He found the image of NIBIRUS in the table of Union in Iraq and up to now, there is not a member of the human race able to to understand that language, they are just retarded idiots claiming they can just to sales books.
Why is it that the new thing to be is a hybrid whatevers?
Do you have that much trouble just being yourself?
Hybrid Space Forces…
Yeah I know… Just making fun of the fact that people on this site always go with the “Could THIS be Niburu” line to explain anything that is in motion in our solar system… To tell you the truth it is getting pretty irritating.. It is almost like chicken little when a comet comes through… They are saying “NIBURU!…. NIBURU!!” instead of “The sky is falling”
Dear resonator, thank you for your question. The word Hybrid is not a name, is a race just like you are a Human, I suppose!! so you are proud of your identity and so are we. In the past were 29 Hybrid names in youtube-Facebook-BIN and many other internet forums, today are only 5, your friend Hybrid nation, Hybrid Human Planet, Hybrid ISON killer, Anthony Valentino and I Hybrid Space Forces.. The 29 did face all kind of nasty comments against them from many end of the world 2012 retarded idiots and UFO’s researcher, who did not like ET’s information to come to the public beside the so called (IF-BUT-PERHAPS) so a intelligent human like can imagine that the Hybrids are not into that. with those 3 words, they can keep you waiting for the next 1000 years and their industry continue to produce “MONEY” The intention of the Hybrids was too good, to make the humans see behind the dark curtain and close door and learn of a new reality.. resonator, WE are OURself. And that’s why we cannot allow Hybrid nation to take your invitation to drink tea, because he is not a ATL857, he is a CRT458 and you are not prepared for that. have a nice time
