    As the comet zoomed around the sun, people doubted it would make it. But new images from NASA/ESA's SOHO spacecraft show that ISON might still be alive, and that this might actually be the comet of the century.

    Hmmm nice :D
    Those things that come out of the sun, are those explosions?

    EDIT: Thanks for answering my question, looks like I've learned something today :D

    They're CMEs (coronal mass ejections.) They're massive clouds of very thin gas ejected from the sun.
