Didnt the comet go around the opposite side from the view of lasco,the red image? And from earth for that matter? How does it go over our heads on the 26th dec?

Ah damn, that's a shame. The media really need to stop hyping these as potential comets of the century until they've actually put up their display.

Also, can all of the Ison conspiracy theorists now line up for group humiliation that they were wrong yet again?

Yes. And when it came back to "our" side it (or what's left of it) again became visible.

How does it go over our heads on the 26th dec?

Not my head, but I don't really understand what you mean. The comet is going to leave in more or less the same direction it came.

Ison is alive and well folks.



This video is for you Cheezy.

The Rat.

Download this and put your VLC media player on repeat.
It looks like it hits and causes a big reaction on the opposite site.

Save link as.
STEREO Behind COR1

The "reaction" is the remnants of the comet continuing on their orbit.

huh? Still alive????

It will be 40million miles directly above earths north pole on dec 26, i think
Over your head?

What!

It coulda been aliens. Maybe they mess up, and got too close to the sun. or maybe the aliens were passing through, or maybe the aliens are now waiting on the other side of the sun, and then they are going to invade.

You may think you know, but you don't know.

Looking better all the time



Dirty Snowball LOL

So why is it getting brighter if it all use up LOL

For me it seemed the attitude of ATS people regarding Ison wasn't all too bad - compared to, for instance, Elenin times.
The majority of what I read were people genuinely interested in the passing of this comet, and hoping they'd have the chance seeing it somewere the coming weeks/month.

Maybe I didn't read all what was written, but I personally didn't experience the threads about Ison as mainly 'nonsense', as you state. I actually find that statement a bit cynical and generalizing.
I enjoyed following this comet on ATS and reading about it.
It was a pleasure following it around here, and it's (from a personal point of view) rather sad it -apparently? Or not?- died out tonight.

"remnants" ? looks more like a Coronal mass ejection
in the video.

I don't live at the north pole. On the 26th what's left of it will get to about 60º above my horizon. Above me, yes, but not directly overhead. It will be 40º away from directly over the north pole.

Perhaps there's a blessing in disguise here.

Comets are valuable for the science that comes along with observing them. Scientists look at how the particles coming off the comet behave in the far reaches of the sun's magnetic field as they are traveling near and through the corona.

Since Ison came apart, doesn't it "paint" the sun's atmosphere with more media than it would have had it stayed intact? And if it does, then maybe this gives scientists a better view at what they like to observe?

Let's hope we underestimate this cosmic iceball ... would be something to see it apear again "rise and shine"
