Resdes (OP) User ID: 12719340 United Kingdom 10/12/2012 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23755636 that is just one website link, I used that one because of the good imagines, you want more details, try this one, Comet C/2011 L4 had an apparent magnitude of 19 when it was discovered in June 2011.[5] By early May 2012, the comet had brightened to magnitude 13.5,[6] and can be seen visually when using a large amateur telescope from a dark site. As of October 2012, the coma (expanding tenuous dust atmosphere) is estimated to be about 120 000 km in diameter.[7] Comet PANSTARRS will pass closest to Earth on 5 March 2013 at a distance of 1.09 au.[4] It will come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 10 March 2013.[2] Wikipedia instead of just saying BS, go and do your own research I told the Inland Revenue I didnt owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6191222 Netherlands 03/02/2013 03:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Coma of the comet is 120.000 km, this is NOT the actual size :-) How big is it really? I haven´t got a clue. [link to cometography.com] [link to en.wikipedia.org] Also it passes Earth (planet we live on), at 1.10 AU, AU stands for Astronomical Unit, and is the distance Earth to Sun. It would be really really incredible if it made a U turn and headed straight for Earth. Personally I really really doubt it. So instead of having Panic sex, have regular sex. Pick up a binocular or telescoop and enjoy the comet if you can find it. On a personal note, I couldn´t find it yet. :-) Can there be another suprise impact as in Russia, sure. Statistics rule it out but the universe has a way of beating statistics sometimes. :-) |
