[quote:Anonymous Coward 45929229:MV8yMzY5NTA5XzQwNTMxOTE1XzdBNUYxMkJG] They already said it "will try to take pictures" This is if their is no dust above it. They have been planning for this for months, so obviously the imagery will display whatever they want us to see. You trust these people who can't fly balloons? Err can't design a telescope that doesn't get stuck on itself? [/quote]

COMET ISON APPROACHES MARS: On October 1st, Comet ISON will fly by Mars at a distance of only 0.07 AU. Red Planet satellites and rovers have a ringside seat for the flyby, and they will be snapping pictures despite a possible shutdown of the US government. Apparently, Curiosity has been designated "essential personnel." Scroll past the Magnificent Eruption for more information.
