No problem, Hikatz. Comet ISON is a difficult one to observe from ground-based observatories simply because it appears close to the sun. It's not impossible and there are plenty of observations of it from the ground, but the Hubble Space Telescope definitely has an advantage for this comet!
And yes, definitely agree, the gallery is just jaw-droppingly stunning - http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/
This kind of sharing of information is so educational amidst the day to day norm. It is akin to "stop and smell the flowers" in some respect. Mahalo. JMO.
P.S. 7th grade mo'opuna got an A- on his science report (Mauna Kea was the topic) utilizing some of the information gleaned from Tutu & Punaweb [
