Comet ISON - How big is this Comet? Wings. Bow Shock

Always full of info and some of the best images you can find.  And as always, some language and pic warnings.  He spends a lot of time pulling up all these images and sources.  Of all the folks who are tracking ISON, I can't find anyone who takes more time compiling good info and images.  Fascinating stuff!


http://www.youtube.com/thornews PLEASE do not watch this video unless you are an intelligent human being with a sense of humor. Thank you. In episode 45 of Comet c/2012 s1 ISON WTF NASA / EARTH? I take a look at the wings, the bow shock and we try and use some fancy math to get a range on how big Comet Ison's nucleus is. 100 x 500m = 50km ? Whoa. That can't be right. Can it?

God bless everyone,
