Comet ISON and the 7 Companions Conspiracy Theory

 

There is an Internet conspiracy theory floating around that Comet ISON is traveling with 7 companions as it travels through the Solar System. This is an inaccurate assumption.
 
This conspiracy theory began when a simple gif animation of Comet ISON was posted on SpaceWeather.com on January 16, 2013 and on Twitter on January 17, 2013 at 4:15 a.m. by the BBC’s The Sky at Night host (presenter) Pete Lawrence.
 
The only intention of the gif animation was to show Comet ISON’s status in the sky at that time as viewed from Selsey, West Sussex, UK.

The gif animation featured imagery that was captured on January 15, 2013 at 23:01 UT through January 16, 2013 at 00:59 UT. The gif animation of ISON was compiled from photos taken through a Vixen 4-inch refractor telescope.
 
After the gif animation was posted unto Twitter, someone noticed what appeared to be unusual activity within the animation. A video was then created by a different person and uploaded unto YouTube on January 18, 2013 with the title of “Comet ISON Not Traveling Alone.”
 
The video was later removed.
 
On January 19, 2013, Lawrence commented on Twitter that the objects on the gif animation were nothing more than “hot pixels which got through despite the frames being dark-calibrated.” The hot pixels seen in the imagery were basically nothing more than “individual pixels that look much brighter than they should.”
 
 
 
Other videos were subsequently uploaded to YouTube after January 18, 2013 with the inaccurate assumption that objects were following behind or with ISON.
 
In the article there  are samples of some of the inaccurate and sensationalized videos:
