Scientists are still identifying the remains of ISON comets after a deadly trip to Thanksgiving.
However, the US Agency for Aeronautics and Space (NASA) said it was most likely to have completely decayed and existed only in the form of dust, according to Space.com.
By December 1, the remaining piece of ISON's core had also disintegrated.
A few days ago, ISON's orbit brought it 1.1 million kilometers away from the sun, officially being 'cooked' by the sun.
The actual fate of comets will be known exactly when the Hubble Space Glass observes in the coming days.
