Well, supposedly Deep Impact has pictures as well, not released yet, of course.
yea they are using probes, and everything we have to observe this thing but ahem where are all the pictures? Why are they being kept top secret?
What surprises me is there is so much hype for a comet, being spewed to us yet hardly any images of the damn, thing or explanations about its nature.. The only logical conclusion I can draw, is they do not know what its nature is, and that is why they are not showing many images of a comet they find strange. First the scientist were rambling on about how bright this comet was going to be and how large it was. Then they decided it was not really that big, now they think it wont be super bright, yet other scientist do ..
This is what I think, I think NASA, has no idea what ISON is...

I was wanting to ask you about that. You said she discovered this? Did she discover someone elses post or did she figure out the light contrast thing herself?

Yes..this is worth watching..its all the same info..and looks like Thor and Dahboo77, a few youtubers have found all the info..it wasnt me who found it for this thread, but my fiance..

Yes if you watch the video I posted from ThorNews..he even says that it was amateurs that RE found ISON..and the professionals are strangely silent on it..they're the ones that wanted everyone to jump on the ISON bandwagon and everyone take pictures of it..where the heck are THEY now?

It would be extremely helpfull to know which pic was made out of which other pics from what position at what time.
It dont know if that was a correct sentence.

there was people saying at one time ISON, had two tails.. This is a very odd picture, has anyone from NASA, explained what the hell this is?
Comets actually have two tails -- a dust tail and a plasma (ionized gas) tail.

I was also wondering, would the tail not have responded to the exposures as lines also instead of seeing the diffused light as we do?
This seems to be a common misconception in this thread. You are not looking at the tail. The blob of light is just overexposure to light, in the image.
At least that's what I think.edit on 19-8-2013 by NeoParadigm because: (no reason given)
Not to mention, as i stated AND showed pictures of other comets a few pages back..no other comet shows like this one.

so why not just release the images to the world, let us helpedit on 19-8-2013 by Bicent76 because: (no reason given)

The change in apparent path is because the image was taken while the Hubble Space Telescope was orbiting Earth. Because the comet is much closer to Earth than the background stars, the comet appears to move in relation to the background over the 2,300 seconds the 5 exposures took. Using Starry Night Pro, I plotted the path of ISON as viewed from the HST on the date the pictures were taken. Each green dot represents 5 minutes of time. Because of the HST's motion around the Earth, you get this scalloped path, where the comet appears to move less at "points" in the path, and then speeds up as it swoops to the next point. That's exactly what you see in the image. One long streak where the comet was moving quickly relative tot he background, more of a single point where the comet was near the tip of the path, and then another long streak as it swooped on on the next point. As you can see from the time stamps, the 2,300 seconds (38 minutes and 20 seconds) total for the exposures nicely matches up with the shapes we see in the exposures.

How does the Shoemaker-Levy comet being pulled apart by Jupiter relate to Ison?
