Daylight Comet coming SOON

I know. I detected that fact myself. They wanted to make sure the centaur stage would not hit mars, but the trajectory took it right by mars and only required a small course correction to make it hit mars. That's nothing at all like missing earth by nearly half an AU. Saying they launched "away from mars" is a bit of an exaggeration.

Sweet wheres the pics

Right here:

I have a question.. Can anyone explain in laymans terms the brightness of this. Will it give us light at our normal night time? That kinda stuff?

ANYWAY! It will be a magnificent sight and I can't wait to see it ! 8-)

You are badass. I can't imagine the amount of pussy you must get with "Unofficial official GLP "astromoner"" next to your name.

The point at which it will be at its brightest will be during the day anyway, but it will still be quite bright when it gets farther from the sun in the sky. Not "turn night into day" bright, but enough to put on an amazing show.

Wow, you're attacking me personally because I backed up what I said with proof? What a surprise...

Hale Bopp was beautiful when it went by, I'm sure this one will be even better.

I just got a new telescope, can't wait to take some pics.

What a Christmas present 8-)....can't wait !

Hahahhaaaaaaaaa Haaaaa Ha !!

You are not alone. I got a BAD KARMA for making this thread, the unnamed person called me a fearmonger !!

Classic.

( ...and to those who sent me a personal inbox message, I am aware of the person a few pages back in this thread that starts trouble with those just trying to help. I cannot reply to your messages personally due to improper account ie: free....but I am watching that person and they are bearable at this point. )

Yes, I remember Hale Bopp very well. It was so cool to be abel to see it with the naked eye just hanging there in the nighttime sky. I remember thinking what much earlier man thougth when they would see such a thing. I look forward to see this one. God willing it will dazel us all.

That's ridiculous. You said nothing about the comet causing doom.

Who discover that?

I immagine NASA (not) they never discover such things and no one ask some questions..

Blue Star Kachina? Shortly after the Blue Star Kachina makes it's appearance the Red Star Kachina makes its self known. 12/21/2012

Nope, never have never will.

Thank you for your input so far in this thread, it is very insightful and furthers my interest in what is coming our way. Keep up the great work.

Headed back to work, the mud is drying after the texture job. I have to reposition the blowers and secure the site.

Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok of the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON). NASA's job is not comet hunting.

For the people who use Stellarium:

Put the code between the ---- at the end of the file "ssystem.ini" to show C/2012 S1 (ISON) in Stellarium.

Location of the file "ssystem.ini" in XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\Stellarium\data

Save the file, start Stellarium and search for C/2012 S1.

Have fun.

What is that from?

Astro, I have a question which I have never understood, maybe you can answer...

How can astronomers predict the trajectory and estimate a date of close approach of a comet when it's way out in the Oort Cloud, do they all travel at the same speed?

Never mind I just spotted your reply to a similar question

um wasn't there a thread also that pointed out that any huge comet on the ecliptic w/the galactic center alignment would cause enough energy to spark a world wide earthquake also? Something else everyone has predicted in one fashion or another ???!?!?!?!!

We don't see comets when they're way out in the Oort cloud. This comet is currently about 6.25 AU's from the sun, nowhere near the Oort cloud. We calculate the orbit of comets by watching how their position in the sky changes over time from a known location, using methods that were first developed by Gauss.

Great thread bud. You are also on to something with the electric universe theory, but that changes so much of what everybody has been taught. Big changes coming. Thanks

Cover up for Niburu?

THIS.

AMEN!

Thread: NEW THREAD! POSITIVE THINKING!! Start now, join in with your thoughts GLPers!!

Let's see, you said, "NASA's job is not comet hunting".

You idiot

[link to www.popsci.com]

NASA has many jobs and one of them is "comet hunting"...or are they spending money building a "Giant Harpoon to Hunt Comets" just to make you look stupid?

Thats what she said!!!!!
