This comet is no more. #ISON has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. pic.twitter.com/AqPCQ2DAxj

Many nerds and sky-watchers were looking forward to a spectacular comet show for Thanksgiving. Alas, Comet Ison and the sun had different plans. Party-poopers.
#ISON you could have given one nerd girl the time of her life, instead you acted like a man, pleasing yourself before anyone else

Unfortunately it appears that Comet Ison did not survive its passage with the sun. #ison

So it seems Comet #ISON didn’t survive its close encounter with the sun 🙁

It was good while it lasted.
Thank you Comet #ISON! While you likely broke up, it was great while it lasted! pic.twitter.com/RQ7p8bk3qa

Like Icarus, Ison flew too close to the sun and lost.
Breaking up is hard to do. Like Icarus, #comet #ISON may have flown too close to the sun. We will continue to learn. http://t.co/caP9J4lqmy

Comet Ison, did you never read the story of Icarus? He flew too close to the sun and his wings melted! #stayawayfromthesun

R.I.P.
Sharing a fate with Icarus, it seems as if #ISON has perished for flying too close to the sun. pic.twitter.com/IPDIWjV9zb
