Well it looks like in the battle of Fire vs. ISON, the fire won. Apparently the sun's corona was just too much for the small nucleus of the fragile comet. NASA announced earlier this evening that ISON has most likely disintegrated under the high heat and
gravitational stress of the Sun on Nov. 28, 2013. It is not visible in
Solar Dynamics Observatory footage and NASA scientists confirmed that
they do not see it. You can see the video at Space.com.
In other news, SpaceX aborted the launch of the Dragon9 due to engine malfunction at T-1 second. Next available launch window is tomorrow.
