OH MIGHTY ISON: And so, it's official. Comet ISON lived to 'tell' about its close brush with the sun.
Check out these cool photos! See the nucleus emerging at about 11 o'clock in the first photo? And it continues on through the next couple of frames.

Better yet, check out this great video of the comet approaching the sun and then slinging out around it!
Tonight as I checked in on Twitter, people ares stil arguing about ISON and what, if anything survived. Such drama! But either way, much better than reading about Black Friday!
BLACK FRIDAY: So, SO glad Black Friday will be in the rearview mirror. Good gravy, the ads, Ads, ADS. I found myself feeling semi frantic that I had to buy something - ANYTHING - to get that GREAT deal!!!
Our big black Friday purchases? A Silpat for $12. We wore our other one out with all our fun fondant projects. We also scored a nice Black & Decker toaster oven for $12. But the best deal? We spent $18 at RE Store for some used but perfect for us 4x6 beams to replace some termite destroyed ones we discovered while gutting our basement. Not Big Fun, but a great deal and very necessary.
thanks for the ISON clips.
ReplyDeleteBravo for the beams. Not surprising there would be termite damage in a dirt basement that's 100+ years old.
