Comet ISON Being Destroyed by the Sun
Comet ISON made a close pass by the Sun in November 2013, and most comets do not survive such an encounter. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) recorded the event. A bright area did emerge from the closest approach, but it soon faded and dispersed, indicating the comet was destroyed.
