RIP Comet ISON

   The comet persistantly billed as the "Comet of the Century" by the astronomically challenged, did not survive the harsh environment of the Sun.  It vaporized in the hours preceding its closest approach.

  There is still a chance that the remnants may be visible from a dark sky as a headless ghost comet, with its tail extending up from the eastern horizon before sunrise in the next couple of weeks.
