NASA Admits They Cannot Predict What Will Happen If a CME Hits Comet ISON

really?

This morning I was drinking coffee and watching my local fox news channel. ( kdfw) They admitted that Ison was going behind the sun and it was possible it could "break into pieces". They then mentioned the speed at which it travels, and then after going behind the sun it will go right back out into space..

I found this odd that my small little news station would mention this a few days prior to this happening.

I second this...

ISON will not wipe out the Sun nor Earth. However, it will affect Earth in some good ways as well as bad.

Be prepared for every eventuality wherever you live but have no fear the end is not coming too soon ;)

This is even in some dubious way considered news-worthy? Why?

How in hell could they possibly hope to predict the outcome of a CME and this totally strange, off-the-wall excuse for a comet - should one collide with the other? Has anyone ever before in the history of mankind ever seen such a thing happen? Or if something along this line has been observed, would it have happened so far back in the annals of history that it was long before mankind had the words to enable him to write about it?

This makes the age old problem of How Do You Tell A Blind Man About A Tree seem utterly tame and easy by comparison.

So NASA admits they do not have a clue what could or might happen should this event occur? Big deal. Did anyone really expect that they would try to predict such a cosmic event taking place and what it would do, how it would happen and what kind of actual effect it would have on the nearby planets should any be involved?

No, for once (jut once in recent memory) NASA has admitted that they do not know JACK SHIT about this or anything else! No surprise there. The surprise is that NASA has actually told the truth for once!

As Astro and shill team haven't showed up de-nouncing this!!!

DOOM ON

As usuall nothing is going to happen and retards from GLP will cry in basements. Go talk with Pattie Brassard, she will tell you

Oh my!

I tend to think it's more DOOM ON when asstro does show up, such is his shill motivation.

I did it! I did it!


I made it all the way through the thread without having to read people's bitching/arguments!

how does it affect earth in good ways other than a 'show' (photo ops)?

"We were simply gobsmacked!" said NASA chief bloviatologist, Herschel Weintraub.

"Oy vey, already!" replied his colleague, Shlomo Bernankstein.

Dr. Astro has back-pedalled on that, and now prefers the term "snowy dirtballs", apparently.

It's right around the corner, the end is so nigh I can literally taste the end.

Well, since NASAstan isn't able to determine the composition of this damn thing. Who knows? If it's a ferrite core it could be come charged.

See, it's an interesting phenomenon that I read about once, a ferrite meteor starts traveling through space, it picks up cosmic dust and that dust attracts or contains frozen water vapor.

As it picks up momentum it becomes a type of comet. So, you could have a 4 mile diameter ball of ice with a 1km chunk of iron at its core.

Now, if that got supercharged by a CME, it would be very bad if it went off course and head for Earth. Even if it didn't hit, it could drag charged particles from the CME. Like a giant inductor hurtling through space.

Comet?
What comet?

So, imagine you've got this fucking comet tail full of charged particles and the Earth passes through it! Well, it would be interesting.

I'm sure, Alphonse Gore could blame it on Global Warming, the CIA on Al Qaeda, and Democrats could blame Bush.

If it landed on his fucking head he would still blame Global Warming.

Funny how the dates play by... If Anbody remembers last year the world was suppose to end on october 28th due to comet Elenin
.. Nothing happens... Now we have November 28th where we know for sure there is a chance of something happening.. I just find that odd... I think half of the users on this board who post information on doomdates are paid shills themselves hired to spread this kind of propaganda... The boy who cried wolf...


But lets be honest with ourselves... Even if nothing happens this year... The world sure is going downhill fast and the end seems near... Its not if but when.

AhHa...now someone is getting it...IF there is a CME when the comet is on its way to us (or past us already) we could have a sustained ion transfer...as ions will take the path of least resistance...

* BTW....NASA already said we would be 'double dusted' by ISON...

Ofcourse Dr. A said this was not possible but I have been told by a family member who works with plasma told me it IS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE...

I guess we will see soon enough...

Actually, it says Dec 26th it will pass ABOVE earth's orbit by a considerable distance.

Dec 16th-17th ISON is pass above Venus orbit on way out of solar system after Perihelion.

If ISON were to be a problem being closer to earth on its pass-through, the CME would have to hit it hard before the comet passes through the ecliptic on the back of the sun on Nov 28th. Since the comet passes above earth on Dec 26th away from the ecliptic, you would need a CME that pushes down on the comet's path so that the comet passes through the ecliptic later at close to Dec 26th when it is near earth for there to be a problem.

On Ison's current path, it will be well above the earth as it passes on Dec 26th.

While it is true that nobody can predict what will happen, logic dictates that whatever happens will not result in the comet heading toward earth.

If a blast from the sun pushes the comet away from the sun, the result would be a new trajectory that pushes the comet further from the earth - not closer to the earth.

Now if the sun somehow drew the comet closer, then it could result in pulling the comet's escape route closer to earth as it leaves town.

I find it amazing that the earth will travel directly through the tail debris of this thing - when the chances of this occurring are very remote. Almost looks like it was arranged somehow...

nice post. I agree.
