Amazing Photo of Galaxies Colliding, and Shitty Photo of ISON with microsoft paint

Isn't ISON getting closer each day? It does seem the images published should have much more.....wow factor, for something NASA called the comet of the century. I'm like most people with very limited knowledge of astronomy but assume there is technology to constantly update presentations with the best possible demonstration for everyone to see every possible detail of what constitutes this event traveling towards us so we can understand what might transpire as it grows closer. That just seems reasonable to me, and to others here. I can't help but think we could have much more and much better detailed display of everything that could be known about ISON.

It's also going behind the sun = not easily viewable. And it still hasn't crossed the point where water ice starts significant outgassing.

Potential, not guaranteed.

"Comet ISON has the potential to be among the brightest comets of the last 50 years"
In fact the light curve for ISON is currently well under initial projections, it's got a high chance of being an over-hyped dud.

Red line = projection, black dots = observational data on its magnitude.

Huh?

This is what dim comets look like, Hubble's image is quite frankly spectacular given the apparent size and magnitude.

I would rather see Ison than a galaxy a billion miles away. Also they should be able to see a grain of sand on the moon if they can see so far off in space, I would think.

Nope. Dawes' limit.

The angular size of the object is a more important factor in what the instruments can detect than the distance of the object.

Take a nice detailed picture of a grain if sand in your backyard with a telescope. Should be simple right? Or does it prove that sand doesn't exist?

Also galaxies are not moving as much in relationship to us, compared to a comet within the Solar system. That also makes a difference, much like taking a picture with a camera in low light and having shaky hands.

not you, but NASA. duhh.

Well it doesn't look fake to me...

Hey Astro Boy, they must pay you well to act this stupid, Hey here`s an idea, why dont you just f@#k off!! If we wanted to hear the official NASA story we would be at the NASA website watching pacman quality footage!!
