Ohh joy, another comet Ison thread.
Can't get enough of those now can we?
I await tomorrows much anticipated Ison thread.
I can't wait to see what you'll obsess over and fixate on once this comet has passed.

Thank you OP for bringing more info I enjoy your threads and I am not very educated on comets and such and you provide me with a way to learn about them........Thanks.

I enjoy when people are very passionate about something even if I am not. It draws me in and leads me in new paths I might have gone down. And you sir actually care about this comet and your passion for it makes me want to learn more.
Also you are very kind and nice about answering questions and that is a rare talent these days. You do not come off as arrogant or condescending you come off as truly inquisitive about this subject and ATS dare I say the world need more people like you.edit on 25-9-2013 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

What sort of gravitational impact upon Earth will ISON have if any as it passes?
Going along the theory that when planets are lined up in orbit theres more chance of earthquakes, will ISON have a similar effect as it passes?
Also, there hasnt been much mention lately about how close ISON will get to MARS as it flies past. I read somewhere it would be close enough to impact one of its moons should it be in the way.
Can anyone verify how close it will get to Mars itself?
Another comet coming
After ISON, scientists will look forward to Comet Siding Spring, Meyer said. That comet will make a very close approach to Mars in October 2014, skirting just 76,428 miles (123,000 km) from the planet, according to the current best estimates.
"That promises to be pretty exciting," Meyer said. "Right now, in all honesty, what we know about it and what sort of calculations can be done … the error bars are extremely large."
The comet poses risks to orbiters circling Mars, Meyer said, a prospect that may lead to re-orienting and maneuvering of the craft to protect them from comet particle strikes. But whether it's a 10 percent, 1 percent or 0.1 percent risk remains unknown at the moment, he said.

Oh no, no. The presentation is not mine. I found it when I was looking at images of comets. Did you see the painting with two comets in it?
I would embed it here but I don't know
how haha.edit on 25-9-2013 by Tsu322 because: (no reason given)

Hii..We have Another Great Info From Lovely Comet, Now this time ISON walk together with A Massive Asteroid "EROS".
Animation made from 9 of 10 images. Contrast enhanced to see the comet tail better.

you say the objects ar .06 AU apart...
in other reports ION is speedinf along at 73,000 miles per hour
in another report ISON is over 3,000 km in diameter
now that we can compare ISON with a known solar system asteroid we can deduce that ISON is neither traveling at 73 thousand km per hour nor is it a moon sized object... it is just a common ball of ice-&-gas
Oh those sporatic points of light that appear to have a direction of travel...
i just read a article which spoke of the 'photon sphere' events of light bending around a black-hole

Tq, I think more far object from our eye more slow it will look in distance..
but maybe i wrong too, i am so sory not an expert of physics..
