If you like your comet, you can keep it. Oops...

Not quite the comet of the century, was no Hale Bopp, too bad. I had this drunk gal convinced that was a flying saucer one night.

Thank you Pre-Fiat Chrysler for old school iron, that shined bright in its days.

The odds were not on the comets side. Too bad.

Is it still alive? Comet ISON sweeps near sun, shows signs of life - CNN.com

Nope, reports say it never made it around the sun. It was sucked in by the suns gravity.

(CNN) -- Hold the obituary. Experts now think Comet ISON -- or at least part of it -- survived its close encounter with the sun.

Karl Battams, a comet scientist for the Naval Research Laboratory, said it is believed some parts of ISON's nucleus survived perihelion.

"It now looks like some chunk of ISON's nucleus has indeed made it through the solar corona, and re-emerged," he said. "It's throwing off dust and (probably) gas, but we don't know how long it can sustain that."

However, he said, its fate is uncertain.

"Now it has emerged and started to brighten, we need to observe it for a few days to get a feel for its behavior," Battams said.

Yep, it's back.
