No. It does not look good for ISON at all, however it is still too early to tell because for every comment that says that ISON broke in the Sun's corona, there are also comments that said it survived.

Sounds like the exact dynamics of a religious argument instead of science Lol

Woke up to this on CNN:
http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/29/us/ison-comet/

(CNN) -- Hold the obituary. Experts now think Comet ISON -- or at least part of it -- survived its close encounter with the sun.
Karl Battams, a comet scientist for the Naval Research Laboratory, said it is believed some parts of ISON's nucleus survived perihelion.
"It now looks like some chunk of ISON's nucleus has indeed made it through the solar corona, and re-emerged," he said. "It's throwing off dust and (probably) gas, but we don't know how long it can sustain that."

So I'm ever hopeful.

And Krixtal Icefluxor, you comment Re, religion -v- science made me LOL

Also, from the same CNN article I linked above were these amusing tidbits:

The discovery stunned many in the comet-watching community and led some to nickname ISON the zombie comet.

Others repeated an old joke about comets and cats.
"Comets are like cats; they have tails, and they do precisely what they want," David H. Levy said.

Yay! I hope it's enough to see. I had a feeling the show wasn't quite over when I went to bed last night. There was still some speculation and the imagery seemed promising at least something of it made it around.
