The giant ball of ice and dust was initially declared dead when it
failed to re-emerge from behind the star with the expected brightness.
There were early doubts when nothing was seen in pictures where #Comet Ison should have been (the cross in this picture).
But recent pictures have indicated a brightening of what may be a small fragment of the comet.
Astronomers admit to being surprised and delighted, but now caution that anything could happen in the coming hours and days.
