Sorry bit of a random question, anyone track where Voyager 1 was when ISON appeared...just a theory I am cooking in my cobwebbed old head.

What do you expect mate, NASA decided to build a rover to wander around a crater on Mars costing $3.5 Billion...and apparently decided to equip the most expensive Matian rover in the history of Humanity with....2 megapixel CCDs.
Yep...2 meg imaging chips...on a $3.5 Billion mission.
And the reason for equipping the thing with such a pathetic, whimpy, little gnat of a CCD series given by one of the NASA imaging team?
Get this; Turns out 'they are used to working with the 2mp CCDs...that's it.
Oh yes...something is most definitely being concealed. On another planet that can only mean one or two things, and they both mean tptb don't want us to know.
It's an absolute bloody disgrace.

It makes sense to me, but then why did NASA drop the ball with ISON? Do you suppose this comet will be resurrected? Is it possible we'll see three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day?
Or perhaps the day after, as ISON was initially predicted to make its' closet approach to Earth.
As far as aliens go...maybe they're the ones who want to weaponize space.

Ok anyone and everyone dancing around this with NASA is hiding, NASA is inept, NASA is fill in the blank, spit it out.
Why don't you want to say what you're really thinking. You don't want to be made fun of ????

Did anyone notice the size of ISON compared to planet Earth on SOHO? Prior to reaching the Sun it was massive, and still is after seperating. Now SOHO has been down for 5 days straight which I find at least a bit odd.
Yuh know, There seems to be a mass infection of shillism here on ATS when it comes to even just simple discussion about ISON. Strange times indeed. ~$heopleNation

I love it how conspiracy believers employ self-confirmation and bias to keep them going. Facts and common sense are wasted on them, I'm afraid. The notion that professional astronomers come to ATS or Youtube to masquerade as amateurs to spread lies is certainly amusing, but completely ridiculous. They have better things to do. Or the notion that the powers need to create the illusion of asteroid threat among the public in order to develop advanced weapons... I'm sure they can do so without those steps.
ATS can sometimes be hardly distinguished from Godlike Productions.
So yeah, what is that NASA can learn about ISON and keep secret that a bunch of observatories and amateur-run networks around the world can't? NASA aren't the only ones with big telescopes or the ability to perform scientific measurements on comets. I have seen amateur and professional non-NASA reports on ISON involving spectroscopy, dust and water production, size estimates, and lots of other stuff, that would be too technical and boring to you conspiracy lovers. Who cares about the real science done here, let's just bury our heads in the sand and believe any fantasies we want to believe. *rolls eyes*

Here's a link to Thor's latest YouTube video where he reviews the past year since the discovery of Comet Ison was announced by NASA in January and the first video footage of ISON was released in February. Since that time Thor has been producing YouTube videos about Comet Ison and from the very beginning Thor has questioned NASA's lack of imagery.
