Does comet ISON have a 333 year orbit?

so are you asking if ison will ever decide to turn around and come back? I would say the answer is no. It is going to leave the solar system, that is determined to be the only thing it can do based on the speed and trajectory. As it moves out it will begin to lose momentum. When it loses enough momentum it can begin to be effected by bodies that exert enough force, but there are not a lot of bodies outside of our solar system for a long long while. And even if it does meet something out there, there is not much chance that it will be turned back towards us. it would get a brand new path leading it somewhere else. But astro's models would include other bodies too, so if he says it is not coming back, i am doubly certain of my response.

Neither one has a 333 year orbit. ISON is hyperbolic and C/1680 V1's orbit lasts about 10,000 years, not 333.

So you're suggesting that it's going to free return around an impossibly large undiscovered planet at too close a distance to the sun ( [link to arxiv.org] ) and magically return to the sun on the same path every 333 years? No that is not how things work in real life.

Nobody cares.

no he doesn't

You said earth, now you're saying Mars. While either one could perturb the comet, it would have to be deliberately placed at just the right spot to produce a return trajectory.

Now you're just trolling.

density of this path is interesting

WElcome to the

Wonder how OP did calculate 333 year orbit

Another clue is that the more one comet big is, the more large orbit it got (..official Earth's science oO).

Now, how big is ISON ...'comet'?

Did you even watch the video?

Of course Ducky didn't - would destroy his agenda:

:duckytruth:

.

Math formula please here. Anything else is needed.

now that is a brilliant duckie smilie.

Question Dr. Astro if you please.

Is what Thor is talking about in his latest thread correct?

An unprecedented event with 1000's of incoming comets?

link pls?

that is the link.
No there is nothing in it to imply the claims are true. no thousand comets incoming. aside from the ones we always knew were coming.

You can put this on the list not failed predictions.

This prediction was named "trolling"
by Astro
performing 1 000 000 years calculations.

Truth

Hey troll:
[link to img6.imageshack.us]
Horizons will only go out a few hundred years, but it clearly shows that ISON's long term eccentricity is hyperbolic. It only drops below one for a brief while before it is ejected from the solar system. I used that drop to my advantage to get ISON to display in Celestia since Celestia only knows how to work with comets with an eccentricity less than 1; I used the osculating elements from this period so that it would display the comet. This is neither a surprise nor an "incorrect prediction."

nice, Thanks.
