The ultimate battle of fire and ice! Who will win, the sun or Comet #ISON?
Join #NASA as we follow the journey of Comet ISON as it slingshots around the sun.
Will the awesome gravity and energy of the sun break up this cosmic ball of ice and rock? Will it break up? Or will it pass the sun intact to put on a dazzling show in the December sky?
Watch as NASA solar physicists track the comet LIVE from the mission control for NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory,@NASA_SDO, during #ISON’s closest approach to the sun.
We'll also be joined by comet scientists joining from Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona, where the solar telescope will be observing ISON and by science writer Phil Plait.

There's one problem. Comets are more like asteroids than dirty balls of ice. The Deep Impact mission proved that.
Does this have anything with planet Iburu which I heard just passed thru our solar system?
Manifestation,-of the Higgs-Boson,?seek,and thou SHALT,find,nothing
,exists,(for-You),until you pause, long enough to do (Your) seeking,?
We all know the universe and our planet is flat.
It's live now, Comet ISON hangout on YouTube as ISON passes the sun:

+Art Silva No, Nibiru is imaginary, Comet ISON is a real object, so there's no connection. Here is how Nibiru is summarized on Wikipedia:
"The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X or Nibiru. The idea that a planet-sized object will collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence"
-'The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder,[2][3] founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials"_
