A KNOT Unties @ Edge of SOLAR SYSTEM

The 'knot' is the shape of a ...spiral..?

ScienceDaily (Oct. 1, 2010) — The unusual "knot" in the bright, narrow ribbon of neutral atoms emanating in from the boundary between our solar system and interstellar space appears to have "untied," according to a paper published online in the Journal of Geophysical Research...

...Analyses of the first map, released last fall, suggest the ribbon is somehow ordered by the direction of the local interstellar magnetic field outside the heliosphere, influencing the structure of the heliosphere more than researchers had previously believed. The knot feature seen in the northern portion of the ribbon in the first map stood apart from the rest of the ribbon as the brightest feature at higher energies.

While the second map, released publicly with the just-published paper, shows the large-scale structure of the ribbon to be generally stable within the six-month period, changes are also apparent. The polar regions of the ribbon display lower emissions and the knot diminishes by as much as a third and appears to "untie" as it spreads out to both lower and higher latitudes...

"What we're seeing is the knot pull apart as it spreads across a region of the ribbon," says Dr. David J. McComas, IBEX principal investigator and an assistant vice president at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. "To this day the science team can't agree on exactly what causes the knot or the ribbon, but by comparing different sky maps we find the surprising result that the region is changing over relatively short time periods. Now we have to figure out why."[/i]

That last statement right there...very interesting! Do we have to worry and pray they "figure" this out soon?

What I want to know is, when do these celestial events finally trickle their way to our earth? I wanna see some action!

LOL, I know what you mean though!

I know about those things, but I wanna see em in person! :)

Me too! I know something is going on. I'm not buying the MSM explainations.

Whats up with the spirals? My kids draw them constantly. Is there some special meaning?

for a knotty problem

Hey Babsi...I've said many times (and this statement shows it), that scientists are out of their league with the things that are coming...

A point you havent discussed is what a knot that unties means.


What if this knot is only one of many that keeps us in our " sac"?

What happens if our bubble dissolves into the energy thats kept away cause of those knots?

Thats pretty scary but inspiring.

With everything else going on, I have that gut feeling something's leading up to a climax. We all have pieces of the puzzle but we don't have the cheat sheet to know what the end result should look like. If scientists are constantly quoted as being "baffled" and "not knowing what's going on"...that just goes to show there are forces at work we have not the slightest clue about.
I'm just growing more confused and more restless the last few weeks...
SS - I will be traveling tomorrow, but will have a great view of the night sky and stars as I'll be out in the Red Sea. I will report in if anything interesting happens ;). Hope to catch you tonight tho before I leave.
