it is not named after the people who 'found' it but rather the scope that viewed it- is this due to it haveing been witnesed and named many times through the years?

No.

strange no?
 Quoting: Shadow

Not strange at all.

LINEAR, Lulin, PanSTARRS, all named for their respective observatories. ISON's discovers did not initially recognize that it was in fact a comet.
Hyperbolic means it has an orbit eccentric level 1, and its end orbit is UNKNOWN (it is said it MAY return, not it will NOT)
 Quoting: Shadow

No, Hyperbolic means that the orbital eccentricity is >1, not that the end orbit is "unknown."

No, you clearly didn't understand my video. The comets of 1347 and 1014 can't be ISON or related to ISON because their orbits are completely different from ISON's. Sungrazer comet families have related orbits, but those orbits resemble each other because they are related.

How can you be so sure of the accuracy of a predicted comet's orbit model based on observations made hundreds of years ago in primitive times by Neanderthals without accurate modern equipment?

Re: Does comet ISON have a 333 year orbit?
Considering that the closest star to Earth is a little over 4 light years away, and there are 8 stars within 10 light years, if ISON were interstellar, it would only make sense that it came from one of our closest neighbors.
 Quoting: hatch battener 50098992

If ISON were interstellar, it would have an eccentricity much greater than 1. Most of these stars are traveling relative to us at many km/sec, and any of their comets would not be traveling very fast at all relative to their parent stars in order for them to remain gravitationally bound within their Oort clouds. Such a comet would, however, be traveling well above escape velocity relative to our sun. It would be strongly hyperbolic (1.1 at least), but instead it is only narrowly hyperbolic.
From Astro's own figures, ISON might not just be a good show from our region of space, but may be seeding interstellar elements into our solar system, until all civilization is destroyed!
 Quoting: hatch

Actually it seems that it will seed OUR elements into interstellar space. Perhaps that's the real doom. Poor universe will never see it coming.

I wouldn't call them "neanderthals." Asian astronomers kept good notes on comets like 1014, and the orbit determination from those notes need not achieve arcsecond or even arcminute accuracy. A rough approximation that fits the reports is all that is needed, and that is what we have. It's completely inconsistent with the orbit of ISON. Likewise, we know what constellations the comet of 1347 was in, and that is all we need to know to rule out ISON.

Re: Does comet ISON have a 333 year orbit?
the question that should be asked but noone seems to ask is just like the story of 9/11 building 7 is the giveaway for the biggest hoax on Earth is why did Nasa stop making public things about comet Ison passing Mars.
That is the dead giveaway that something big is amiss with Ison and no doubt they still monitoring this rock second after second but do not publish their findins.
Very very fishy and yet all seem to accept that it is normal behaviour for a once-in-a-civillization comet passing that Nasa shuts observations down due to government shutdown.
They had interest in comet Haley I tell you, this Nasa and comet Ison stink into heaven.
Maybe this whole government shutdown was created for Nasa to give them a reason to not waken up the sheople of something incoming?

Re: Does comet ISON have a 333 year orbit?
Perhaps it would be wise, when making a video of this comet, that it's orbit not be illustrated since it DOES NOT HAVE ONE. Basically, this man is saying this is the first time this comet has been seen and it will disintegrate when nearing the sun - as they all do.



So, who pray tell has created the nonexistent orbit which has allowed us all to waste a few months thinking about the potential disaster?

Seems well orchestrated to me - as every year we have some "confirmed" disaster about to happen that will end life as we know it, then on the day before this end of times, some genius pops us and calls us a bunch of nutty conspiracy theorists. I have a theory - this is part of the distraction - part of the "overwhelm with information."

Are you really trying to tell us that it's just a coincidence that there is a gap of exactly 333 years between those four major comet events?

Really?

Are you REALLY trying to tell me it's NOT a coincidence? You want to play that game? The orbit of the latter two comets are not even close to ISON's. At all. And there are multiple comets throughout both decades of the 1340's and 1010's. The ONLY reason those comets are "special" to you is because they happen to be on the years you are selecting as part of your confirmation bias to establish a post-hoc "pattern." It is classic confirmation bias.

Are you REALLY trying to tell me it's NOT a coincidence? You want to play that game? The orbit of the latter two comets are not even close to ISON's. At all. And there are multiple comets throughout both decades of the 1340's and 1010's. The ONLY reason those comets are "special" to you is because they happen to be on the years you are selecting as part of your confirmation bias to establish a post-hoc "pattern." It is classic confirmation bias.

1014 - Are you denying the historic records of major floods in the UK, Europe and the Eastern USA of that year?

1347 - Superstition? I quote from: A general chronological history of the air, weather, seasons, meteors, etc. in sundry places and different times: more particularly for the space of 250 years: together with some of their most remarkable effects on animal (especially human) bodies and vegetables. by Dr Thomas Short
London: Printed for T. Longman and A. Millar, 1749.

“In France, besides the rains, in August [1347] was seen the terrible comet called Negra. In December appeared over Avignon over the space of an hour, a pillar of fire, the sun being up. There were many great earthquakes, tempests, thunders and lightnings. Several towns, villages, mountains, and thousands of people were swallowed up; the courses of rivers were stopped, some chasms in the earth sent forth blood, as at Villach in Istria. Terrible showers of hail each stone weighing from 1 pound to 8, Abortions in all countries; In Germany it rained blood; In France blood gushed out of the graves of the dead, and stained the rivers crimson: Comets, meteors, fire-beams, and coruscations in the air, [meaning flashes of light] Mock suns, the heavens on fire.”[/b]

- Are you denying the Great Comet made its appearance?

333 years apart - just a coincidence right Astro?

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Cute, but the comet of 1014 didn't impact us, it was observed after its close approach to earth.

Yes, I'm sure that's a super reliable account of what happened, complete with blood gushing from the graves of the dead. You literally swallow every bit of superstitious nonsense you read, don't you?

Mr know-it-all now calls historical records 'superstition'. How very desperate are you.
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Re: Does comet ISON have a 333 year orbit?
the question that should be asked but noone seems to ask is just like the story of 9/11 building 7 is the giveaway for the biggest hoax on Earth is why did Nasa stop making public things about comet Ison passing Mars.
That is the dead giveaway that something big is amiss with Ison and no doubt they still monitoring this rock second after second but do not publish their findins.
Very very fishy and yet all seem to accept that it is normal behaviour for a once-in-a-civillization comet passing that Nasa shuts observations down due to government shutdown.
They had interest in comet Haley I tell you, this Nasa and comet Ison stink into heaven.
Maybe this whole government shutdown was created for Nasa to give them a reason to not waken up the sheople of something incoming?

Seems logical?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4285842


Then show me the logic in it. Sungrazers are not automatic "hazards."
 Quoting: Dr. Astro


he didn't say automatic. he said potential. and he's right. obviously.

when you cross the road, potentially, you could get hit by a car. doesn't mean you will.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50107376


If you know the car isn't leaving for the road until an hour after you cross it, then you already know that particular car is not a hazard.
 Quoting: Dr. Astro



Hey, knowing is half the battle! And if you see it coming and don't have time to get out of the way, well.. Hazard.

It's inevitable, stranger things have happened. We got our moon somehow?

And it all goes around in cycles...
