Good chance it is Charlie, Not like a boat in water where the bow shock is
bent behind somewhat, due to water drag resistance.
Wondering if extreme heat caused a separation of water into hydrogen and
oxygen caused a fire that was self consuming as ISON went away. It did
appear much brighter.
Maybe, NASA will have a chance to verify these theories, if cost effective
!

I noted that, too Bruce and wondered if that could be the "bow-shock" of
the
comet interacting with the solar wind?

Sounds correct Gary. As the comet approaches the sun, there seems to be
something going off the front at right angles to the direction of travel.
Anyway if oxygen starved, with the extreme temperature, could it cause
something like a small backdraft ? a firefighters term.
Low band DX is very much controlled by our sun.

Just a guess but from what I remember from far too many years of
college in a mostly unrelated subject; I'd be surprised if there's
any oxygen in there at all, I'd think the gist of the sun is just
plasma with Hydrogen & Helium being the food source.
I am just guessing here...

I started wondering if the break down of Ison's water into Hydrogen
and
oxygen had prompted the increased sun activity. Maybe the amount is
too
small, but just how much oxygen does the sun have?
