43 Comet Ison’s Demise. The Comet Ison fever reined right up to its torn demise on the morning of November 28th 2013. I imaged the Sun’s Orb breaking the horizon over the sea surf at the volcanic Island of Fuerteventura North coast of Corralejo. My efforts to capture an image or a glimpse of comet Ison survival and path around the Sun was not to be. The Sun’s gravitational forces and pull proved too much for Ison to defy and hold together to give us the comet of the century. We can only wait for another comet to encounter our domain and give us a chance of viewing an awesome spectacle in the future. Sherwood Observatory Nottinghamshire.
