Apparently, we'll have to wait for another comet

Maybe, Maybe Not.

Something is still out there and getting brighter.

Latest news as of 30 minutes ago is that ISON is nearly gone now. It's already faded to less than magnitude 6 and the nucleus has all but disappeared. Yeah, we've heard that before...but I think this time it's for real. If anything is left, Hubble will image it in a week or so. All that's left is dust.

Maybe with a bit of luck, we will get an increase in the number of meteors starting January 12th...However even that is looking pretty bleak at this point.
