Gotta to vent Ol' Greybeard here, They're at it again! The cover of the November issue of Astronomy features a large HST image of ISON with the headline reading: "SPECIAL ISSUE Comet ISON BALZES INTO GLORY" I'm surprised they left off a few exclamation point. Ugh! patrick (who *hopes* they're right...) On 03 Sep 2013, at 15:18, Patrick Wiggins wrote:
Anyone here seen the ad Astronomy magazine emailed out today?
It's headlined "DON'T MISS The GREAT COMET OF 2013" and is hawking a "DEFINITIVE GUIDE" to the comet (their choice of upper case, not mine).
They're talking about ISON, of course.
I'm guessing the folks at Astronomy are not old enough to have learned the lessons of Comet Kohoutek.
Ugh!
