SOME BITS OF ISON REMAIN
2013-Nov-28
Some material from ISON has survived perihelion and emerged from the SOHO LASCO L2 coronagraph. It will be interesting to see if anything substantial has survived and is able to produce a new coma and tail once it has moved far enough away from the heat of the Sun for small dust grains to survive.
