Karl Battams at NASA’s Comet ISON Observing Campaign – wrote on Twitter:

It appears that Comet Ison has gotten too close to the sun and may have broken up.  Here is a link to the latest as reported by USA today:  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/11/28/comet-ison-nasa/3776419/

“At this point, I do suspect that the comet has broken up and died,” says Karl Battams, a comet scientist for the Naval Research Laboratory, who joined a NASA and Google+ chat from Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona. “Let’s at least give it a couple of more hours before we start writing the obituary.”

Good morning and good news!  It looks like we will have another pier ready for lease in January of 2014 and again in March.  The lease price will be less than $1000 per month.  If you would like to have your name placed on the list contact us via email.
