[quote:BG-Fan:MV8yNTk4OTk2XzQ1OTE3MDIwXzcyMkNGQzE0] [quote:K Hall:MV8yNTk4OTk2XzQ1OTE1OTAxXzkyQzU1RDA0] [quote:BG-Fan:MV8yNTk4OTk2XzQ1ODk3NDE0X0EyNDk1Qjc2] You say science has no way of knowing under what circumstances their electric comet can produce auroras? That's interesting. [/quote] Really ? I said that, would you care to quote me? K [/quote] Another one of them finicky cat dilemma's?? You said: "BG-Fan, are you seriously telling me that you don't think the [b]electrical and magnetic properties of comets[/b] have been studied over the last 150 years. I think you need the kids book of comets or something. 1852 William Swan produced diatomic carbon spectra that matched William Huggin's comet coma spectra, so we have know for at least 152 years that outer comas contain ionised material, please catch up. [b]As to under what circumstances this could or could not cause auroras that is beyond the ability of anyone here to calculate.[/b] This McCanney guy is picking up on what JPL were saying over a year and a half ago, RE auroras." Siding Spring's coma passing through Mars' atmosphere and "sparking" magnetic umbrellas is the circumstance we were discussing..I thought...lol. :uk: ....couldn't find the other 19 ESA country flags! But I am becoming an ESA fan. [/quote]
Original Message
I want to use this thread to highlight news from the Rosetta comet mission.
Ten years ago the European Space Agency ( ESA ) launched the Rosetta comet chaser to rendezvous with comet 67P, go into orbit around it and land a probe on its surface.
120 Icy Patches - by last September

Pictures MOTHER LODE !
- There are
hundreds
thousands of images from Rosetta, this post will always point to the most recent NAVCAM or OSIRIS picture. Updated several times per week. ( Thanks F-BVFA )

When the Rosetta mission is complete we will know so much more about comets, their composition and formation. Comets have been a cause of fear and fascination throughout human history, within the next few months many long standing mysteries will be solved.
