Comet ISON is still on course and will not hit earth

Just saying. Since there seems to be some "controversy" about this issue, here is some data independent of NASA. The astrometry is based on this image I took on the 17th during this webcast ( Thread: ISON Live Webcast 10-17-13 )
:isonplus1017:
Though JPL will continually update the exact orbital data based on the latest astrometry, the revisions made are extremely small. The difference between JPL's calculated perigee (closest approach distance to earth) for the comet and the perigee I calculated a month ago is only 0.000055 AU. The distance I calculated was based on astrometric data up to, but including, September. The total perigee distance calculated by JPL is about 0.429235 AU. It's not a threat to hit earth.

This needs to be un-pinned. This is common knowledge, but astroshill needs to satisfy his ego.


Besides, even if it was going to hit, there isn't a damn thing anyone on this site could do to stop it.

Right you are Astro !

But this nothing changes the dust problem. And the possibility of chunks breaking of the comet.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ASTRO SERIOUSLY

HE IS A TROLL AGENT, FILLED TO DERAIL.
YOUR ATTENTION FROM ISON. IT WILL IMPACT EARTH.

WE ARE BEING LIED.

Thread: Incoming celestial object

You have approximately 60 days to prepare for the influence of an object that is inbound from the Orion constellation. The object will NOT impact Earth, the moon, or any other planetary body in our universe. But, given the nature of the object -- life as you know it will forever change.

I can only tell you this: The U.S. government has been tracking this object and studying it from the same location where they have the remains of the UFO that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico: White Sands Missile Rage (WSMR).

How do I know this? I have a bunch of little letters after my name and I was employed by NewTech at WSMR in order to study the physics of this object. I have resigned my position and I am secreting my family in the Ozarks with enough food, water, fuel, and energy resources to last 2 years. There are many of us who are doing so.

God speed, and God save us from what is about to occur.

Ty Astromut for the post, have a few questions though. This comet is supposed to be 50k kilometers across...the size of Venus, this thing wouldn't HAVE to hit us to do considerable damage would it? Also it seems the Russian scientists all think its going to hit....whats up with that? Not trying to promote doom, or refusing to believe facts, just wondering about the other variables that were not mentioned in your post.

Astro, I read these forums multiple times a day. Who exactly is saying that this comet will hit earth? It has been extremely clear that this comet is not going to hit earth. The fact that you're creating a thread stating comet ison will not hit earth is fairly odd if I must say.

Astro, if nasa isn't releasing info where do you get yours?

No chunks from the comet can reach us. The dust isn't a threat. We fly into comet dust every time there's a meteor shower.

The coma is even larger than that, but it doesn't matter: it's very tenuous. It would have to hit us to do any serious damage, though a close approach could hypothetically result in micrometeorite damage to satellites. Not an issue at .4 AU though, not even close.

I calculated the orbit myself. NASA's figures that I compared to are freely available on jpl.

Off course it will not hit the Earth but will you hear those screaming hardest about doom come back and appologize for their fearmongering behaviour?
Nope, they will find a new comet and repeat it all over again.
In the end they are right but I doubt they will be alive to experience it.

Thread: "The Comet is Coming"... But is it SLOWING DOWN? - DATA CHANGED! - Russia says ISON to IMPACT the Earth on 27th December 2013!!
