ISON didn't 'react' with the sun... at least not in the way it is being suggested here.
Was there some activity? Sure.
Does that mean the activity was caused by the comet approaching? Absolutely not.
Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation.
Example: Many men that get married, also go bald. So marriage must cause baldness!
See the problem with that?
Also.... we are in solar maximum so the sun is going to naturally be more active right now.

It turns out that we are not seeing a solar maximum, as it had been so expertly predicted. Could it also be that we don't really know whether or not those CME's were a reaction to Ison.

The one thing that I have learned is that we need to learn a lot more and stop letting the experts dictate what is or is not.
At first, heliophysicists were puzzled. All the signs had pointed to a solar max taking place in 2013. Then came the new hypothesis: a double peaked solar maximum. According to that theory, instead of a single fiery climax, the Sun would exhibit a small peak, taper off into a valley, then peak again at the end of 2013 into the beginning of 2014.
Well, the end of 2013 is upon us, and so is a very active Sun. October 27th, 28th, and 29th all saw X-class flares, the strongest and most dangerous variety. NASA reported three X-class flares between October 23rd and 28th, accompanied by more than 15 M-class flares, one level down.

Watch the video from NASA, and clearly the sun becomes active as ISON approaches.
Maybe it doesn't meet your exaggerated interpretations
For scientists trying to understand the dynamics in the interior of the Sun, it has been a humbling experience enlightening them about how much they do not know. “If there’s anyone who has figured it out, I haven’t heard, that’s for sure,” said Douglas Biesecker, a physicist at the Space Weather Prediction Center and the chairman of a panel that had issued predictions about the solar cycle.

Then it goes very calm.
That looks like there was interaction.
Maybe it doesn't meet your exaggerated interpretations, but there is definitely enough action taking place to demonstrate that something happened.
Probably more so than claimed proof of the existence of quarks.

Two videos to bring to attention here. Both have been posted on Youtube over the past hour.
Busted!
This camera only updates images twice per day.
Once every 12 hours.
Its been that way for years now so there's no reason to get all excited and dramatic about it as if you're discovering something amazing about it not being like "real time" TV.

Note where it says "171".
The image is from the EIT camera on the SDO. 171 Angstroms wavelength.

It really is just down to the ignorance of the youtube guy (and yourself).
edit on pmFridayfpm1 by alfa1 because: (no reason given)
On November 28, 2013, the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) spacecraft will off-point at three different positions as Comet ISON moves through perihelion. This website will display near realtime images and movies of this sungrazing comet. Images should begin appearing sometime between 12:45 pm and 1:00 pm ET.

Your statement on how often the camera's are set to update only means you have not bothered to go to the site to read what has been stated there for sometime now.
Tallone
So my question to NASA. Where are those images you promise of ISON in perihelion?
My question to you is "which images?"
Be specific.
Exactly which images, which times, from which cameras, which wavelengths, are missing?
If you're going to make a claim that something is hidden and kept secret, you do have to say what it is.
At the moment, you're just saying rather vaguely "stuff" is secret, cause the youtube guy said so
Tallone
You haven't been to the site yet. All cameras.
None. Can you find one of the images of ISON promised by NASA from those cameras? There are plenty of astronomers looking. Maybe you can do what no one else can?
Joint USAF/NOAA Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast SDF Number 333 Issued at 2200Z on 29 Nov 2013
Solar activity has been at low levels for the past 24 hours.
Solar activity is expected to be low.

I get a total agreement from Thornews!!
Here we go then, let's just call it what it is.
Tallone
1. There is strong evidence of interaction between the Sun and ISON on the 19th.
Tallone
2. A wrong assumption by you.
The fact the images NASA released supposedly recorded as the comet went through perihelion that showed the time stamp rolling but only over the SAME frozen image is does not reflect well on what NASA thinks of the minion observers out there.
The first to note the issue of missing images...
Tallone
3. Where do YOU think EPOXI/Deep Impact is right now according to its orbit??
Tallone
6."The cameras were indeed facing the right direction, as promised."
So I ask you then, where is a SINGLE promised image of ISON from Mars to completion of perihelion from all of NASA's expensive hardware?? Huh?
Tallone
Give counter points with linked evidence. You know, show you are not trolling.
