Here is the REAL size of ISON in relation to Sun and Earth

It's close to the horizon, to much atmospheric particulates obstructing the view, right now. That's my guess.

Some good info about Ison's size

Sorry they have taken the ISON pic and stuck it next to the sun. ISON is 3 miles in diameter according to many sources. Why haven't amateur astronomers around the world been crying from the rooftops that it's actually huge? And of course it's the BPEarthwatch guy again. He has been caught out before. I remain skeptical......and that's not a bad thing lol

Ison may well be only 3 miles in diameter, but the coma surrounding it is much, much larger.

Yes but not as large as this pic is making out. Sorry but if this post wants to be taken seriously will have to do better than BP guy. But this post deserves a bump. Need to input here to confirm.

3 miles diameter nucleus and SUCH a huge big long tail???
And such a huge inner and outer coma????

Now they speak of 16 million km tail...

3 miles? That cannot be, just logically, not possible.

Much much bigger.

It wouldn't surprise me.

In the image I have taken the outer coma and put it in relation to the sun. The measurements of the coma can be read in Bruce gary's website, as well as in numerous others.

The inner coma is 60 000 km = 5 times the earth

The outer coma is 250 000 km
Sun diameter is 1 392 684 km

= Sun diameter is only 5,5 bigger than outer coma!

The image shows about the proportions ...

After completing the image, I am perplexed as you are!

Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see

People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

5 km nucleus in prop. to 250 000 km outer coma.

This equals a stone of 2 cm creating a wave 1km wide.
= Not possible.

Shit. I hope this is wrong.

Exactly the size of Nibiru

Stars, generate light.

Comets, reflect light.

Okay?

5 million miles

space dust

allergies already 6x last year

pin please mods

You do realize that the outer coma of comet ISON is less tenuous than cigarette smoke, don't you?

Please tell me you don't think ISON is a solid body as wide as 70 Moons!



Comet Holmes' coma expanded to over 1 million miles, larger than the Sun.

A coma of "smoke" full of cyanide ...

Of course I do know that nobody knows how big this thing is.
The inner coma is too bright to see the nucleus.
I have tried to change the temperatures and the curves,
in order to see the body, no chance.

Gorgeous Pic of ISON from the NAKED EYE!

Thanks for the stars, bumps, the applause and the heart!!!!!

... beautiful picture!!!!

At this point I can't buy what Mr BP is putting forward. He was wrong about Elenin. Though nice thread OP, always good to debate these things and find out new information.

What keeps the tail from separating from the nucleus?

To User ID: 38401942 from UK:

You do realize that your Putin is a pic of the body double?
Tell me that you know that one has to look at the HANDS to find out if it is the real person?

Putin has fine small hands, these ones are farmer's hands...

When I add it all up this is no dirty snowball .

It quite possibly could be a star . Do I know . no.
BUT
It seems to be charging in energy its growing in outburst .
Have this deep down sinking feeling that the sun will ignite it .

It is quite possible THAT things are going to get crazy real soon .

Yes, maybe Mr.BP is wrong again, maybe not. It is not about what Mr.BP says, it is about the size of Ison.
The size of the coma is kind of common knowledge.
One can find it in many serious scientific sites as well.

I just put the sizes into relation.
OP is as puzzled as you are!

Is that really a naked eye pic?

Looks too big to me.

But then...
