BBC News - Comet Ison destroyed in Sun passage

[OwlHoot]

Meanwhile, back at the planet: Spaceflight Now — Breaking News — Re-entry of Europe's GOCE satellite is imminent

European officials said Sunday the 2,200-pound fuel-depleted GOCE satellite was expected to re-enter the atmosphere Sunday evening between 2250 GMT and 0050 GMT (5:50-7:50 p.m. EST), putting the most probable re-entry zones over the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans, or over Earth's polar regions.

Be a bit of a bummer if it comes down in The Philippines

Bit of a bummer if it comes down on my building in Central London, or my car parked round the corner

But anywhere else is fine

[bless 'em all]

Bit of a bump, but as there's just an hour and a bit to go before Comet ISON rounds the sun I thought you might like a looky-see.

Watch it live here from 6pm

If it lands on client co office, can I still invoice?

I quite enjoyed the Dark Ages.

The electric light bill was massive though.

Ah yes, around here we call that 'night'.

Some think it will trigger a massive solar flare that will send us back to the dark ages.

You mean it will cause a massive surge in religion?!

A bright star* in the sky for Christmas, some may see that as an omen




Yes I know it’s not an actual star

Splinter alert?

Though Buscemi as Slim Pickings was quite funny.

Day of triffids.

Comet ISON

As ISON continues its journey towards the centre of our solar system, many hope they’ll be dazzled in the next couple of months by the so called “Comet of the Century”. However, as comets are typically difficult to predict, only time will tell if this visitor from the Oort Cloud will live up to its unofficial title...

Could be a good one.
