Ah, here we are: [link to www.spaceweather.com]

Its not going out any time soon but my point comes from the difference in the centre of the light on the 26th and 27th. On the 27th its not as bright as the 26th.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 199381
the central object looks as big as it did, and maybe it doesn't seem as bright because the cloud is obscuring it.

Re: 17P/Holmes - Enigma 'Comet'Quote

Now to add some DOOM factor!

We know the relative size of the comet as approximately 1 square mile, if we assume an impact sufficient to degrade 25% of the comets core (reasonable given the size of the expanding cloud) "we" as in the earth is approaching said comet, normally not a problem given it's orbit, however we now have an expanding cloud of debris heading in our general direction while the earth continues on an approach vector.

Question for those who delve in celestial maths:

What is the expansion speed of the "cloud".?

What is the approach speed of the earth relative to the orbital speed of 17/P?

Will the earth orbitally "pass" the approaching cloud, or will we run into it?
 Quoting: Prof-Rabbit 148352

We will pass by, (already passing by) this dust cloud but next year...? Me thinks this one could redden the skies...

i once saw a golden dragon in the sky with fiery rays of golden light flying fast at 30 meters above the ground.

dunno what was it but I suppose it is close to the moon with horns.

Binoculars… check

Telescope…check

Clear night after 3 nights of overcast and rain…check… :)



Last night around midnight, the sky’s became clear enough for us to see the comet…unaided…stuck out like a sore thumb…looked red…then as I used some nice binoculars on it, I could see the golden/greenish glow!....very cool!

This was pinned several months ago. I'm telling you this may have something to do with what's going on. An explosion in space near the moon that moves the moon out of its place and causes fireballs and heat to come on the earth. My first dream also had something big coming that didn't hit before I woke up.






I've already almost a year ago had a dream about fireballs.
I was shown it was a judegment of God. Last night I had this dream...... I was outside with some people we look up and and we see a streaking object hit another object. There was a bright exposion. I couldn't tell what it was. I see it's near a planet or the moon. Then this planet or moon moves like up a little bit. Everyone in the crowd is gasping and saying what was that? Someone asks what does this mean? A lady in the crowd says" it means we are all going to die within 24 hours."

The next thing I remember is being home and telling my family what happened and basically telling them we were going to die in 24 hours. My daughter responds it has to happen and at least it will be quick. I turn on the t.v looking for something about on the news and just normal shows are on. I say" They aren't going to tell anyone are they?" I then go to the computer to tell you guys and my keyboard just starts shaking before I get to the computer and smoke is coming out of the CPU. My sons nose starts bleeding. I look out the window and it looks crazy outside. It's kinda dark and windy and streaks of lightening are everywhere. The window frame is getting hot. Then I see streaks of fire starting to fall. I say "I told you this was going to happen (referring to my other dream) then I said I'm a prophet. Then I woke up wide awake even they I hadn't been sleeping that long

I remember reading that sometime ago. Quite a match since some people have said one object must have hit Comet Holmes while others are saying Comet Holmes is now coming this way. It's all conjecture, but some match with that dream.
