Report abusive post | 73P - more on the trajectory - {{{shaking}}}
| Quote |
[edit: Hey guys, I just wanted to remind you that we are coming up on the first days of June. If you take a look at the photos I uploaded, you will see how we "intersect" the plane of the orbit at the beginning of June. Also note that fragment S is the object that speeds by on the right just at the end of May. Will we get any suprises as we move into the cometary wake? peace]
Everyone,
The trajectory of the comet was explained in a thread I started a while back. For those interested in an update on where we are now, read on.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, please click on:
[link to pg.photos.yahoo.com]
to see a set of photos I posted. You should see an option to "View a slideshow." Select that option and then set the speed to "Fast." If you look at the frames advancing you will see the position of Earth relative to the paths of various fragments...more or less traveling in the "String of pearls" manner that has been discussed.
What you are viewing is the scene as though you were positioned right at the center of the Earth with your eyes focused on 73P, the original critter.
Notice that 73P and most of the fragments are now past us, but now we are entering the area I will refer to as the comet debris field.
The slides are named according to the date, the first slide for today and the last slide taken as of 6/2 via my Starry Night software.
We can discuss the implications of what we may or may not experience as we enter into the debris field, but no-one can argue that we are tracking right through a cometary mine field.
I have my ideas, but I want to wait for some interested people to have a look at the slides and we can discuss together.
Cheers! |

No doubt we will pass thru the debris field SO. I think the question is, will there be any fragments in this debris field large enough to cause a catastrophic event. That we are in for a hell of a light show is almost certain.

One point though, before I sign off for a bit to help my son move some furniture...
Notice in the first few slides how the moon is moving out ahead of the Earth, in a right-to-left motion. Not having an electrical field of protection, it may move right into the path of one of more fragments.
This is a REAL possibility, and HERE's THE DEAL, the fragments are moving at a very rapid rate. If we keep our eyes on the moon's surface we can see, WE JUST MIGHT see the event of a lifetime...the moon getting slammed with a bunch of fragments.
That is where I will be looking. Plus, it will give us a really good idea of what is in store for Earth...this is because not having an electrical field, the moon will not be able to "reject" small fragments, while the Earth will do so to an extent...
Got your cameras ready? |

SO, Thank you for creating this album. Your explanations and images have been the clearest to me -- by far.
Just to clarify, the perspective is from earth, looking out the comet. What happens after June 2? It appears that the trajectories come in line with the perspective at that point. |

i don't know about the moon hitting the earth but i do believe the moon affects bodies of water and emotions so who knows what the result will be if the moon is affected. |

Observant,
I could post more pics, but bacically, the Earth continues in the same relative motion. I stopped taking slides at the point where it looks as though we are on the same "Plane" as the fragment orbits.
I'd say if we don't get hit by June 15, the danger has passed.
Due to the way the Earth's electrical field helps protect us, I'd guess the moon will "Inform us" as to what is going on.
There'll be signs in the moon and...err-uh, wait...where have I read that? {wink} |

It doesn't look like we will go through all 65 fragment debri fields, but it does look like we will have a hell of a light show at best, or raining fire on us at worst, but I don't see any large tsunamis out of it. |

ScienceOnly, it looks like you put some work into your slides, but I'm not too sure of what is happening. One problem is that the maximum size I can display them in is still to small to read your labels (except for the very biggest like the "Moon"). I was viewing the slideshow trying to figure out what was going on but I'm not so sure. They are not as easy to understand as the NASA page that showed the orbits. The first slide looked good showing the comet tails blowing away from the sun, but then after a few slides the comet tails weren't there. Sorry I'm so dense, but you slides need more explanation for me to be able to understand what you are saying. What is the source of your info to construct these slides (how accurate is your orbital info)? |

California Fugi,
The pictures are just screen shots out of a program I have called StarryNight. You can look the company up on the Internet.
If you were to look at the raw jpeg's that the program exports, you could see much better detail. IF anyone would like to give me their email address, I will send the jpeg's and they can post them in an environment that displays them better.
My software also can output video, which I would also be willing to send to someone who wants to post it.
I would suggest you read the first few posts I made in my first 73P thread. Just do a GLP search on the term "trajectory" and you should see the thread pop up on the list. |

Science - I was just wondering...had you started any work on studying the pieces as they make their next pass by us? Wasn't that supposed to be every 5 years or something? I know it's a lot to ask with all of the info to input (I know all the great work you did with all of the trajectories of the pieces this go-around...and thanks for that, by the way). I ask because if we make it through this episode unscathed, might we be in the bulls-eye the next time?
Thanks again for all your hard work!!!!  |

Here is a link to a moon cam.
The title says: "KErmIt Satellite mission #151 — High orbit over the moon".
"Last Shot : #Sat, 20 May 2006 20:27:29 GMT".
"One shot every 14 seconds."
It seems like it's working (I guess). The way it takes the picture from orbit is like a permanent full moon I think, so we can't see any darker areas.
It would be something to see a comet fragment streaking in and blammo, hitting our poor old moon... |

Have you ever considered using Photobucket.com to host your photos instead of Yahoo? Photobucket won't reduce the size like Yahoo does, and i'm pretty sure it has slideshow functionality. |

Good point ScienceOnly. Julien was contacted by 'aliens'. Or was he?
Get everyone hyped-up for May 25th and then angry when it passes and nothing happens.
Back to life, back to work and then...
