Let's see it in infrared. Nothing about the comet resembles a "red dwarf with moons" so I'll match your bs flag and raise you two more in return. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let's see it in infrared regardless. You've already seen it in infrared; the HI CCD's are sensitive to infrared light and are not filtered against it. The anti-reflectivity coating does not work as well in the infrared range, but the CCD still registers the light anyway. [link to www.stereo.rl.ac.uk] ![]() |

Quoting: Isis One My video shows exactly how much space it covers over the course of weeks, in 3 dimensions. It's covering exactly the space it should cover under the influence of the sun. It's got a fairly long orbital period (many decades) and has a perihelion point between the orbits of earth and Venus, so yes, it will be traveling much faster than earth at perihelion. ![]() |

And he was Wrong about Comet Love Joy, A ball of ice cannot withstand 11,000°F from the sun. And no comet ever recorded has disturbed the atmosphere of Venus. What we are looking at is the Dead Morning Star OMEGA. AKA the old serpent cast down,Or the Star of Bethlehem. It has many names. Like SATAN... |

I'll try to boost the microphone more next time. It is very hard to see the comet because it's fairly faint and very small. The size is impossible to accurately measure using HI2; the optical distortions of this very widefield camera bloat the stars so you're not able to get a good, small point spread function and each pixel corresponds to about 254 arcseconds anyway. It's a fairly small comet at the moment, and it won't be until mid-january that northern hemisphere observers will get a good view of it away from the sun. It's not going to get close to us, so I'm not sure I would call it an "arrival" so much as an appearance by it in the night sky. ![]() |
