Comet ISON...It's Alive!

You might have heard about Comet ISON by now, it's been in the news quite a bit over the last 48 hours or so.  The comet promised to make for quite a show in December, if it survived it's (relatively) close call with the sun this week.  First reports indicated the comet burned up and fizzled out, but now it appears the comet (at least part of it) has survived!  It passed within about a million miles of the sun on Thanksgiving and looked like it burnt up completely.  Now it appears part of the nucleus is still intact...I'll wait for more word from NASA and other astronomers to see if we can still count on a nice comet light show in December!
