From Buenos Aires, veteran comet observer and science journalist Mariano Ribas writes, "Since last night (Feb. 28th) comet PanSTARRS is a naked-eye object in the Buenos Aires sky, despite its low altitude (a few degrees over the SW horizon at evening twilight) and the strong urban light pollution. I estimated it a magnitude around 2.8. Almost a full magnitude brighter than just 3 days ago! "With 10x50 binoculars, the comet looks yellowish, and the center of its coma looks not only brighter now, but also shows a very high degree of concentration. Also, I could easily see a 1º tail against the light blue sky of twilight. "If that trend continues in the next days, I think that this comet could be a great astronomical show in the days around its perihelion March 10th."

Quoting: mtn_mang I found this link and info when searching for an answer to your question. [link to waitingforison.wordpress.com] "Well, if you live in the middle latitudes of the northern hemisphere, it’s really quite simple. From March 10th or so you look towards the west right after sunset, and start looking for a smudgy… thing… in the sky. That will be Comet PANSTARRS. This graphic from NASA shows what I mean by that very well… (Note: don’t take the picture TOO literally, at least not the way the comet is shown. That’s just a guide. It will look more like a misty “V” than the single, straight, vapour trail-like line shown here)" |

Hugh M Eye User ID: 31662450 United States 03/01/2013 06:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Comet Siding Spring may collide with Mars in Oct. 2014- A few days ago Russian amateur (and comet discoverer) Leonid Elenin identified the comet's close approach to the Red Planet next year. Turns out he wasn't the first to notice. "The JPL small-body system automatically checks for close approaches to all planets and the Moon," comments dynamicist Paul Chodas, "and we've been monitoring this impact probability for several weeks now." OK, what if it hits Mars? Both simulations yielded craters at least 6 miles (10 km) deep. The smaller assumption creates a basin 100 miles (160 km) across. But the larger one's outcome is off the charts: an enormous pit more than 500 miles (800 km) across. Size-wise, this would be one of the top 10 impacts ever on the Red Planet! "These would be really big holes in the ground," Melosh says. "But since the average recurrence interval for such large craters is very long, we would have to be very, very lucky to have such a thing happen in our lifetimes." Fear not. NASA will have pictures...they have lots of Martian orbiters. "But C/2013 A1 poses danger for these craft as well. The comet should pass by close enough to completely immerse Mars in its gas-and-dust coma. Who knows what might rain down onto the Martian surface?"

shadasonic User ID: 34416224 United States 03/01/2013 08:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BREAKING: Third Radiation Belt Discovered Around Earth! Quoting: Hugh M Eye Let me take pleasure in scooping Spaceweather.com and Suspicious Observer on this one, hehe. This newly discovered 'Van Allen radiation belt' is seemingly a direct consequence of solar activity. NASA scientists were surprised because they had no idea this existed. From the NASA press release- "But a group of scientists on the mission made a case for changing the plan. They asked that the Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT) be turned on early – just three days after launch -- in order that its observations would overlap with another mission called SAMPEX (Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer), that was soon going to de-orbit and re-enter Earth's atmosphere. It was a lucky decision. Shortly before REPT turned on, solar activity on the sun had sent energy toward Earth that caused the radiation belts to swell. The REPT instrument worked well from the moment it was turned on Sep. 1. It made observations of these new particles trapped in the belts, recording their high energies, and the belts' increased size. Then something happened no one had ever seen before: the particles settled into a new configuration, showing an extra, third belt extending out into space. Within mere days of launch, the Van Allen Probes showed scientists something that would require rewriting textbooks. "By the fifth day REPT was on, we could plot out our observations and watch the formation of a third radiation belt," says Shri Kanekal, the deputy mission scientist for the Van Allen Probes at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. and a coauthor of a paper on these results. "We started wondering if there was something wrong with our instruments. We checked everything, but there was nothing wrong with them. The third belt persisted beautifully, day after day, week after week, for four weeks." More here: [link to www.nasa.gov] [link to www.youtube.com] Where are they gonna put that third one.lol “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
