Updates are slow coming; I suppose the new projected path, size, integrity, etc are being calibrated. As any updates come, I will have them here, so keep checking back.

ABSOLUTELY NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS NEXT VIDEO.
As ISON exited the perihelion, and all heads and eyes worldwide were focussed toward the sun, 'something' else came into camera view from the opposite direction. How far away from the camera this object is, is not known; as NASA has scrubbed the section of video it was in, so they will not be disclosing any information about it, to us, any time soon, BUT job terminations did occur over the section of video that did actually show before NASA was able to delay it, and scrub it from the video.
This gentleman, that has been covering the vital points of the space camera's streams during ISON's voyage, has been constantly recording all the space cameras data. He has the video from BEFORE it got scrubbed: (Honestly, I just don't know what to think about this...I believe this camera is in our orbit, so could it just be a glimpse of another planet as it passes between our cam and the sun?.. So why would they scrub it, if it's just another planet in our solar system? )
