Comet Ison still intact

If you are a skywatcher, you know that Ison
is a brilliantly bright comet headed around the
 sun, getting the closest on November 28, 2013.

   The comet Ison is still holding together per this photo taken from the Hubble Space Telescope yesterday.

   As it gets closer to the sun, some scientists believe it will break up, as it is mostly ice, but others hold out hope that it will hold together longer.
