Some astronomers reckon it could rival the Great Comet of 1680.

Currently in Virgo. Will link on how to see it in a mo. at the moment it's heading towards the sun. If it makes it round the other side it could be a woowzer!

comet Ison webpage

another website

star charts to help you find it

On the Ison webpage, it says the comet is estimated to be 3 miles in diameter. That's a big snowball.

It certainly is! Maybe it's where the Express are getting their ideas for all of this gargantuan amount of snow they keep screaming about!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd just as we were getting all excited the Comet Ison webpage went down - other websites are measuring distance it's travelling away ... do I take it, it survived?

sky news thinks it might have died :(
I know its not the best place to look for reliable news but its the latest headline I could find.

comet ison website server has been made bigger.

Come on Ison!! Reappear!

I'm watching with you.

pretty good blog wish I'd realised that SOHO was keeping an eye on it.

We were trying desperately to find a "live" site between 6.30 and 7pm - bit late now

It's still early though ... still behind the sun.

Have you found anything that suggests the earliest that it might reappear?

Everything i can find was last updated at around 645, which isn't massively helpful!

Oh BBC says it for fried. Such a shame.

got not for

:(

Tried looking on SOHO, they appear to be having server issues too.

Oooh! Something's remained it seems! Latest images much more positive

Not sure if this will work as is a twitter link - but

NASA thinks its gone :(

PiddlePuddle the link worked but my brain didn't! What was that? Was the comet the swooshy line at bottom right towards the end of the clip?

Beautiful picture of the sun on the picture where it should have appeared though

Am confused. Went to bed thinking ISON was gone and now they think a wee bit of it is still going??? Really?

It does look like it :) hooray!! Apparently they don't think there will be enough ice left to give a lovely naked eye tail though.
