http://lupuvictor.blogspot.com “Comet ISON will make a visit to the Red Planet,” said astronomer Carey Lisse of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab. “On October 1, the comet will pass 0.07 AU from Mars, about six times closer than Earth this comet will ever come.” . Mars rovers and satellites will have a closer view of it.
At this time, August 24, 2013, Comet ISON is 3 AU from Earth, ie 3x distance between Earth and the Sun, where an astronomical unit is equal to 149 597 870 700 m x 3, is about 448,793,610 km. Its current speed is about 100.000 km / hour but will increase as it gets closer and closer to the Sun.
It is speculated that ISON is a spaceship, due to a photo taken by the Hubble Wide Field Camera 3, which Internet users have edited it playing with contrasts and found that it has a triangular shape looking more like an unidentified object. Anyone can see this if you access the original picture and drop the brightness in the menu.

Why ISON appears that consists of three pieces? These things can not be covered up. And why should it be? If the comet was breaking, we would have seen that this is reported by NASA as an interesting evolution of the comet. We will soon could see with our oun eyes.
Hubble’s image in the originals above is actually 3 images stacked one on top the other to produce a better image of the background galaxies. Since the comet moved a considerable distance while taking the images, you have 3 separate tracks. Each track is the distance the comet (and the Earth and the Hubble Telescope) moved during the exposure.
Comet ISON is not a spaceship. The people claiming it is a spaceship are embarrassingly wrong and need to read up a little on the way Hubble took the photos:

I think this particular Hubble image was poorly done and conceived. They would have been better off if they would have shot the star background before the comet got in that area. Then, they could have taken the comet shots while tracking it so that it would not leave a trail. The tracked comet shots could be stacked using a mathematical algorithm to eliminate the star trails that would have resulted and produce a comet-only image. Then, the two images, (the star background and starless comet-only image) could be combined to form a composite image of the comet and the star and galaxy background without any trailing. I guess they had limited time and resources to devote to such a project, unfortunately.
But if it was simply parallax then I’d expect the 3 tracks to be separate but *parallel*, i.e. the comet should be travelling in the same direction relative to the background stars. This is not what we see.
Not only was the comet moving, but so was the telescope and the Earth was too, to some degree. Hubble orbits around the Earth and that changes the position of the comet with respect to the background stars, depending on where the scope is in its orbit. The comet also moves a considerable distance during one exposure, which is about 15 minutes, from what I heard. So, it is not, “simply parallax.”
The issue was explained nicely at the link I included in my original post above. For those in doubt, check it out. lol
imagine a camera taking three pictures.
Picture 1 is the top light streak. It’s streaked because of the exposure time. This snap shows the comet coming towards you with the lense at a slight SW angle to the trajectory of the comet. Remember the lense is moving as well as the comet.
Picture 2 taken 15 mins later is the comet directly in line with the lense
Picture 3 is the bottom light streak and now 15 miniutes later the lense has moved slightly across the trajectory of the comet so it shows it streaked towards you from the NE.
Remember although hubble moves in a singe trajectory around the earth, that trajectory takes it BOTH up and across, almost diagonally across, the trajectory of the comet.
The biggest pointer to this is the fact that the dust trail doesn’t move, or change with the pictures, and that’s because the comet is no different, it’s the perspective of the comet that changed.
Having said that, although I can explain to my satisfaction that isn’t a ship or a mini solar system there are some possible anomilies that could cause us an issue that we shouldn’t rule out until we actually get to see it as it passes Mars. Put the doom back in the box there isn’t a load of reptiles coming to rape our skulls.
So when the ship stops by Mars Oct 1st will it pick up the large contingent of giant Anunnaki warriors on one of the moons of Mars? Drag the “moon” with them? After the Earth is bombarded by debris will they descend and unleash God’s judgment on the evil people of Earth? Is their another bigger object behind this comment with more Anunnaki following? We shall see.
