If you don't think its a ufo who do you think it is?
Id love to believe it was something other worldly..but my mind can't grasp it. I guess we have to wait until October..sadly..im afraid it'll just be another non-event..I really hope it is something spectacular..

I have no explanation regarding this image exept that it looks exactly like some kind of spaceship to me. Definetly not a comet. My mind is blown.
So...they are coming.

Go here to the Ison mission page:
archive.stsci.edu...
at bottom click Phase II Observing Program which gets you here:
www.stsci.edu...
Read the descriptions of the various images created. The one with a total of 8 171 second images is
F350P, NOT the same images, which are F606W and F814W obtained 30 April, 2013 on totally different dates,
Note in the hubble instructions for F606W and F814W that the images alternate, first a 606 then a 814, 606, 814, 616 which exactly corresponds to the "anomalies".
Since the stars are effectively an infinite distance away, there will NEVER be any apparent motion from frame to frame over any length of exposure unless the telescopes orientation changes, which it does not. Only things relatively close to the device will show any parallax movement as the orbit changes the viewing location.
These are merely five frames which clearly depict the expected sinusoidal time lapse images of the comet as seen from different points in the telescopes orbit.

If the white halo isn't a tail of debris and gas what is it made of then, to give the impression of movement as it does? Is it only some kind of glow?
Thanks for your time.
