How disappointing.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

It's looking like it made it after all.

no mater what, sadly it seems ISON is not gonna make it as the brightest asteroid of the decade (As was initially expected). Nevski & Novichonok are going to be the most disappointed ones but then still should watch the sky to see if we can spot anything. In fact now that C/2012 S1 is going to be visible in early Dawn hours, it might be even easier to see any trace.
Well you never know when the next cool flying ice particle is going to show up.
