It is unknown exactly how long Comet ISON had been orbiting the sun since its discovery in September 2012. However, experts estimate its orbital period is somewhere around 400,000 years, with an immensely-large hyperbolic pathway. As the comet neared perihelion, it disintegrated from its close proximity to the sun between December 2013 and February 2014.
