THE COMET THAT WILL CHANGE US FOREVER: Comet ISON, What you need to know.... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1564780  United States08/01/2013 07:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So if it is going to be a beautiful sight to behold,which it will be if as you described. Why are you calling it a comet from hell? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1564780 It's beauty may distract from the problems here on Earth! Let it be know, it will be gorgeous, but we must not let its beauty distract...indeed Who knows what could happen. Stupidest explanation ever! |

Brighter and brighter ---- Sirius - bright, Venus-bright, half moon bright, burns the comet. Near sunset, on Thanksgiving Day 2013 November 28, LESS THAN ONE SOLAR DIAMETER FROM THE SURFACE OF SUN, .... Comet may APPEAR BRIGHTER THAN THE FULL MOON. |

Quoting: Astral Goat You can expect a heavenly spectacle come November and December. And sadly, many people will fall victim to fear and suicide over a harmless comet. I repeat, I repeat, this comet may be like none other you will see in YOUR LIFETIMES Many are already comparing it to the Great Comet of 1680, whose tail stretched across the sky!

I guess what we "need to know" about this "comet from hell" is that it's going to be gorgeous - it that it? You wouldn't be trying to frighten us, or cause fear and anxiety here would you? Because you are a NICE person. |

You have not provided anyone with any new information that we don't already know so... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1129585  I am merely giving you the required information needed so you can be aware of this in case many people begin to panic. And trust me, there will be panic.

| Uncle Arthur User ID: 24904517 United States08/01/2013 07:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fact: ISON is *not* a comet. The astronomers think that ISON might once have been a moon of Neptune or Uranus, or perhaps it was locked in a stable point in Neptune's orbit, and was then perturbed somehow. But perturbed it was, and now it is on a thirty-six-hundred-year collision course with Earth. Fact: ISON's impact will *not* be comparable to the Chicxulub impact which caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. That impact was sufficient to cause mass death, and to alter -- drastically, and for all time -- the course of evolution of life on Earth. But it was caused by an impactor some ten kilometers across. ISON is *forty* times as large, and its mass is therefore some *sixty thousand times* as great. Fact: ISON will *not* simply cause a mass extinction event, like Chicxulub. It will be much worse than that. The heat pulse will sterilize the land to a depth of fifty meters. Life might survive, but only by being buried deep in caves. We know no way, even in principle, by which a human community could ride out the impact. When ISON arrives, everybody will die. Fact: ISON *cannot* be deflected with current technology. It is possible we could turn aside small bodies -- a few kilometers across, typical of the population of near-Earth asteroids -- with such means as emplaced nuclear charges or thermonuclear rockets. The challenge of deflecting ISON is many orders of magnitude greater. Thought experiments on moving such bodes have been proposed, for example, using a series of gravitational assists -- not available in this case -- or using advanced technology such as nanotech von Neumann machines to dismantle and disperse the body. But such technologies are far beyond our current capabilities. |

YOU GET. IONS. Be prepared. ION - noun 1. an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons, as a cation (positive ion) which is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis, or as an anion (negative ion) which is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode. 2. one of the electrically charged particles formed in a gas by electric discharge or the like. ----- ion - 1834 - introduced by Eng. physicist and chemist Michael Faraday (suggested by the Rev. William Whewell, Eng. polymath), coined from Gk. ion, neut. prp. of ienai "go," from PIE base *ei- "to go, to walk" (cf. Gk. eimi "I go;" L. ire "to go," iter "a way;" O.Ir. ethaim "I go;" Ir. bothar "a road" [link to dictionary.reference.com] "the truth will stand up, when nothing else will" - annie's mom "When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt.
