Comet C/2012 S1 ISON in STEREO H1A (23 November 2013)

Comparison of Comet ISON on the 21st and 23rd in high resolution stereo H1A fits images. While there is a lot of debate over ISON’s fate, I think these images show the comet is still in play.

In the images above I have used Comet Al‘s ImageJ macro for using image differencing to really pull out the detail in the comet.

Although to the same scale comet ISON looks a trace dimmer on the 23rd vs the 21st, however this is basically image brightness scaling issues. You can see the comet apparently change significantly in brightness, but comet 2P Enke does the same in parallel. ISON has an extensive tail with what looks like knots of material moving down it, just as in the 21st.

In the images below I have taken a different approach, using a log transform to try and bring out some of the detail in the comets tail. It gives a somewhat different view of the knots moving down the tail, and extensive billows of material in the tail.

I have not had a chance to do calibrated estimates of the comets. However, I think the imminent demise of ISON is less likely from these images and the medium resolution images from the 25th.

      “The vertical lines are imaging artefacts from Earth being too bright”

      That is not true. It is another NASA lie. Those ‘lines’ are ALSO in the Egyptian hieroglyphics. There have also been recent photographs of the tubes. In “Moon Rising” documentary they speculate these are space elevators, going by the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The simplest truth is that they redefined the term “The Creation” which originally was defined as “A Construct”. “Heaven” is “your place of origin” and it is ‘the outside world’.

      According to the hieroglyphs, in modern terminology You are in a giant ‘Server”. In the coptic record, “Inanna” ‘Gloriana’ Elizabeth 1, the “Mirror” of Lilith, stole the Ankh and Locked us inside. That was during the “War in Heaven” when Ur invaded (IRAN) “Suleiman” father of the ’3 Ptolomy’s’ Alexander, ‘Selene’ Elizabeth and ‘Enlil’ George who created the COVEN Age and then renamed covens ‘religions’. The “Jews who were not” they are islamic extremists. George’s greek coven name was ‘Bacchus’ and he used the “kiest” to seize people and pull them into the construct. They wiped minds, and gave you a ‘history’ all about how great they were, ‘hero’s’ for “SET” who was “Solomon”, ruler of the Underworld and Abyss, Father of the Branch of Reptiles.
