Here OP. Fixed it for you. Well sort of, I am NOT retyping all this. But here's a few carefully placed carriage returns to make it a little easier to read through.

''January 20, 2013 posting ... !!!!!!! ...

THIS JUST IN ... IT IS TOO EARLY TO CONFIRM BUT SOME INITIAL DATA SUGGESTS THAT COMET C/2012/S1 HAS AT LEAST ONE COMPANION AND POSSIBLY UP TO SEVEN ...

WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS ONE HAS TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS BUT AFTER EXAMINING THE DATA THAT I HAVE SEEN I WOULD SAY THAT IT APPEARS TO BE REAL ...

FURTHERMORE ONE OF THE POSSIBLE COMPANIONS APPEARS TO BE AT ABOUT TWO LUNAR DISTANCES (HALF A MILLION MILES) AND HAS NOT FORMED A COMA FOR SOME ODD REASON ...

IF THE OBJECT IS ORBITING THE NUCLEUS OF THE COMET AT THAT DISTANCE IT IMPLIES THAT THE NUCLEUS OF THIS COMET IS POSSIBLY AS BIG OR BIGGER THAN EARTH ... ALSO WITH COMPANIONS WE WILL BE ABLE TO DIRECTLY CALCULATE THE MASS AND THEREFORE THE SIZE OF THE COMET NUCLEUS ...

USING STANDARD ASTRONOMICAL METHODS ... NASA TIER II SCIENTISTS HAVE ALREADY PUT THEIR FOOT IN THEIR MOUTHS WITH AN ESTIMATE BASED ON SOME GEEEE WHIZ BAD SCIENCE ...

WE KNOW THEY CAN DIRECTLY MEASURE COMET NUCLEI WITH RADIO TELESCOPES SO WHY ALL THE BAD SCIENCE AND OPINIATED ESTIMATES ???

NORMALLY NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTRADICT THEM BECAUSE THEY HOLD THE REIGNS OF THE RADIO TELESCOPES AND WHO IS TO CONTRADICT THEM ???

BUT WITH COMPANIONS WE USE A SIMPLE ASTRONOMICAL FORMULA AND WALA WE HAVE THE MASS OF THE NUCLEUS AND THERE IS NOTHING NASA CAN DO ABOUT THAT ...

WHY ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS WHEN THE COMET (ACCORDING TO NASA) WILL NOT EVEN BE VISIBLE UNTIL NEXT NOVEMBER ?!?!?! STAY TUNED FOLKS THIS IS GETTING REEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL INTERESTING ... jim mccanney ''
 Quoting: Carl the Sagan



Thanks man! One question for everyone, it might be stupid so my apologies in advance...

If comet ISON will appear to us in blue color as it approaches towards the Earth... when it makes the loop around the Sun and starts going away from the Earth, will it change it's colour to red because of the Doppler effect? This puzzled me few days ago and I can't find the answer
 Quoting: Carl the Sagan


No problems Bro - feel free to copy the one with the line breaks into your OP.

And I don't know the answer to your question; wouldn't it be too close?

We have a resident astronomer, I'm sure he'll be along shortly - he'll know.

What a dipshit. He's full of shit. ISON does not have any "companions." I'll tell what happened, he saw this image floating around on conspiracy forums like this one claiming it shows "companions" near comet ISON and he latched onto it:
Thread: Comet C/2012 S1 ISON is being followed
These sorts of images often show asteroids as well as hot pixels, but those asteroids are nowhere near the comet, and the hot pixels are not even real objects at all. I'm betting he didn't even notice the asteroid at the top of the above image:
[link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

Hot pixels don't even form point-spread functions, which is why that dipshit McCanney exclaimed that it "hadn't formed a coma." The lack of a point-spread function means it's not a real object, it's just noise in the imager. Asteroids and other real objects in space such as 2002 TY164 do, however, making them easy to distinguish. Obviously McCanney did not realize that.

Few nights ago while nicely stoned :), I was reading about Doppler effect and how we perceive approaching sources of light in blue colour and sources moving away from us in red colour, then I remembered Hopi Prophecy about Blue and Red Kachina which says Blue and Red Kachina are twins. And then I was like WHOA DUDE :) twins are made from same genetic material so maybe, JUST MAYBE, comet ISON is Blue AND Red Kachina. 5a Prophecy says that first comes the Blue
and then one day we will just wake up to red dawn when Red Kachina arrives (after the loop IMO)5a5a5a

The first time I read about ISON on september 2012, I knew this was possibly the first attempt to hide in plain sight something that I know that will happen in 2015. Perhaps it's too soon yet, but if you knew what I know, you'd know that sooner or later we will face a threat that will define the destiny of Earth.

According to my source, who is a low profile contactee, the aliens that are in our planet to save a handfull of people from this event calculate that the collision or close pass (not much difference in destructive terms) will happen betwen January 2015 and up to 2019. No more precision possible, even for the aliens.

 Quoting: Carl the Sagan


Are you now going to admit you are wrong?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32729444


When you say it's normal, you are the one who is wrong because it could be the brightest comet ever according to official sources. ''Brightest ever'' does not equal ''normal'', it is actually furthest away from normal in my modest understanding.

edit: Ok now I am wrong :) it is not furthest away from normal but half of that length according to normal distribution in statistic
 Quoting: Carl the Sagan



So what if it's bright? it's still a normal comet.

Or do you still believe it could be the size of the Earth.

New threads are easy to produce on GLP.

In fact many people who want their threads to be read now seem to post multiple threads at the same time about the same subject. I suggest that you abandon this thread and try it again.

Go back, and use both upper and lower case, and be generous with the paragraph breaks, and maybe I will read your text OP.

Thanks!

Closest it gets to us is about 0.429 AUs on December 26th. No, it won't come anywhere near passing between the moon and earth. You're probably confusing it with 2012 DA14, which is a small asteroid, not a comet.

Then where is his astrometric data on these "companions?" Where does he show that the astrometric data reduces to an orbit consistent with a location near the comet, let alone "orbiting" the comet? He doesn't have any. He's an idiot who can't distinguish between a hot pixel and a real object, let alone identify the object or determine its orbit.

Kung Fu rats.

I can find several websites that a comet coming close to the sun emits a blueish gas and an asteroid emits red.

The Hopi prophecy didn't say how far apart the kachinas would arrive but the white buffalo... ?

As far as I am concerned there is no difference between an asteroid or a comet especially when it starts picking up friends along the way. Remember the crop circle? I will find it and post.

Pete wrote back while I was webcasting. He's not able to send me the image files right now, but he confirmed it was just hot pixels. Here's what he wrote:

"It is definitely noise (my name) - if I overlay the frames directly, the dots are in the same place. The original frames were dark frame calibrated but I'm guessing the temperature varied throughout the shoot so some got through. I'm on a location shoot at the moment so no access to the originals at the moment but feel free to quote me.
