Looks a lot like what they did was..buy themselves some time. For what?
Ofcourse not likely a craft, but should we be concerned for other reasons? Again probably not.
I'm sure if this comet was a threat everyone's safety would be priority one, and instead of reading about Syria the headlines would read...
Thx for the post op!edit on 5-9-2013 by wutz4tom because: typo

Cool, now what about this.....
Remember the view of ISON with a friend dragging along with it....that hasn't been addressed in this thread, what happened to that school of thought....so, on the youtube sector.....that's a biggy on the menu....." ISON is not alone "....

What "friend"? Links / pictures / videos please. This might have been adressed in Space&Exploration forum. Do you mean the two streaks seen in the stacked Hubble image? Those are multiple and stretched images of the comet's nucleus, due to the fact that the Hubble was tracking the background stars and galaxies instead of the comet, while the telescope and the comet were constantly moving.

going over the posts
i guess i``ll open the can of worms
looking at the images of the comet...i got to say...i think it needs a new category of identification
there is obviously significant levels of chemical reactions going on... not typical of an incomming comet covered in ice.... consistantly/proportionatly burning up as it gets closer to the sun
and now...
the functioning sattellite, losing communication as they approached...could it be interference?
if so
im sorry, but for me, thats a second indication, that this "comet"...is behaving differently...

so your saying the "shutter time" on the hubbles camera lens... because its long...gives the image a dragged effect
but... would it create a significant second body??

then you will see the latest photographs of the comet.

Ison is not just an average every day comet.
A comet like Ison has not been seen in our lifetimes.
I can't wait until it becomes visible to the naked eye. Should be quite a show.

the most intriguing thing for me is:
EPOXI took images of Comet ISON on January 17, 2013, showing that the comet’s brightness varied on a timescale of hours
also, if they know the trajectory...then it should be fine...right
