Re: Explosion on Mars as siding spring passes
The question is, when will Comet Siding be close to earth?

Will it get as close to us as it did to Mars?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64121212


Or is it leaving us?

When do we get our own comet?

if that is legit, it could be proof of an electrical interaction with the tail of the comet.

I am wondering if something has changed electrically in this corner of the galaxy.

Because of where we are, comets NOW cause electrical disturbances that they would not have before.

Re: Explosion on Mars as siding spring passes
The European Space Agency's Rosetta Mission to the comet 67/P may be rewriting everything astronomers thought they knew about the nature of comets. The latest high-resolution images of the comet nucleus have astonished scientists around the world, revealing a remarkably jagged, pitted, black as coal surface. It is nothing like the so-called dirty snowball or fluffy ice ball that mainstream astronomers have long envisioned. Most astonishingly, scientists have reported they have not found a single trace of water ice on the comet surface. It is, in the words of mission scientist Holger Sierks, "dry like hell."

Re: Explosion on Mars as siding spring passes
It looks just like a classic, yet very large, impact from trailing debris of Comet Siding Spring.

As far as I can tell, this is what happened.


The impact has a tightly wound center circle I believe to be the main fireball from impact. Which is roughly 1,200 miles in diameter or, the distance from Key West Florida to NYC NY.


I am certain much ejecta was released beyond the gravity of Mars to pull it back in. As well as much that will return and hit Mars as a meteorite shower.

Earth might have a new yearly meteor show due to this.

I doubt anything was released and posses a threat to Earth. We lucked out, it was our neighbor planet that got hit. If that was Earth, most of us today would be meeting our maker.

I don't trust it for these reasons AND, it is far too early to tell. The article may have been written with data acquired just after peak flyby.

Noting the suspected impact event occurred some time after peak flyby.

Interesting but I do not believe so for these reasons....

The blast occurred some time after peak flyby. If it were electromagnetic, I would expect it to occur at closest approach or before as the threshold is crossed.

Meaning if it happened at X distance from Mars leaving, it should have happened at X distance before Mars.


It is right about the time trailing debris would hit. And being so close, the debris lined up for a direct hit.

We did see large objects silhouetting in front of Mars at times. I believe these were trailing debris. One happened to make connection.



Though, I will not eliminate such a possibility of electromagnetic interaction causing this, it appears to be a straight up impact from trailing debris.

That is IF the video is legitimate.

An important thing to consider is the location of the "energy ball" or other object at the time the electrical explosion occurred... The explosion occurred right at the exact time that object was centered over the planet.

No, exposure difference.

Just like a camera can see a small LED light in dark room but that light is impossible to see with the sun in the image.

Same thing here, the explosion is bright and that darkens the background, including the stars.

I'd have to be brain dead to not believe that was an explosion on the surface of Mars.

Err, meant the article comes from the same place as wrong news about Ison not making it past the Sun. When it had made it, just not fully intact as it was prior.

This image looks just like a comet, but it is not.

[link to www.weatherscapes.com]

It is a high voltage corona discharge from a copper wire tip.

High voltage leaks the same colors as a comet. I suspect comets are bleeding charges as they are extremely high voltages. The presence of the Sun releases the voltages.

That is my theory, but that is separate from the Mars impact event. I believed this long before hand.

Not sure what really happened yet......time will tell.
