Everything was stripped backwards (away from earth) from ISON by the X-Flare on the 19th -- except the Nucleus (accordeing to SECCHI, which takes 48 hours to report) - But the NUCLEUS is growing. It's Huge. Amazing Stuff.

Today, the 22nd, coming from STEREO A (Satellite), you can now compare the size of ISON with Encke (the name of one of the Fallen Angel gods, by the way). BPEarthWatch says ISON is at least 20 KM wide (the nucleus); NASA appears to be lying once again (why do they even bother to report?) Also, remember that Encke is millions of miles closer to the camera than ISON. And ISON's debris trail increased it's width by several hundred thousand miles! Watch the video.
