Re: COMET C2012/S1 ISON : COMA/TAIL OF OVER 64,400 KM [UPDATE]
OK HERE WE GO
[link to ssd.jpl.nasa.gov]

4.199 AU
4.19900 Astronomical Units = 628 161 459 kilometers
ON APRIL 2

CENTRAL IMAGE SECTION LOOKS TO BE 2 PIXELS. OVERALL MAYBE 7.

SO 4 TO 14 AC SECONDS ?

problem 5 the comet in the math lesson was 114 million KM away and at that distance each arc minute was 33,000 km

114,000,000 = 628 161 459
--- --- ----------

33,000 x

X = 143953.6676875 KM / ARC-MINUTE OR = 2399.227 KM PER ARC SECOND AT 4.199 AU

SO 4 ARC-SECONDS = 9,596.911 KM
FOR THE CENTRAL IMAGE [BRIGHTEST AREA]

AND 14 ARC-SECONDS = 33,589.189 KM

WITH TAIL I ESTIMATE TO BE 23 ARC SECONDS, OR
55,182.239 KM

For your calculations: 1 pixel in the photo = 2" (2 arcseconds)

 Quoting: rphunter

Hi rphunter

sorry, but your calculation is wrong.

Please use this picture (edge filter and histogram adjustment to find the approximate borders of the comet): [link to p-m-a.org]

And please use this formula to calculate the sizes: X = 2 *(b * (tan(alpha/2))

X = diameter in kilometers
b = distance Earth-ISON in kilometers
alpha = angular size in degrees

1" (1 arcsecond) = alpha/3600 degrees
1' (1 arcminute) = alpha/60 degrees

(To calculate "tan(alpha)" you can use the Windows calculator in scientific mode)


From the picture above:
Innermost bright part = 1 px = 2"
Coma = 26 px = 52"
Tail + coma = 57 px = 114"

Distance Earth-ISON = 4.199 AU = 628,161,459 kilometers

------------------------------------------------

Let's do it step by step for the innermost part:

alpha = 1 px = 2"
alpha = 2" = 2/3600° = 0.0005555°
alpha/2 = 0.0002777°
tan(alpha/2) = tan(0.0002777) = 0.00000484678

b = 628,161,459 km
tan(alpha/2) = 0.00000484678

2 * (b * tan(alpha/2)) = 2 * (628,161,459 km * 0.00000484678) = 2 * 3044,5600 = 6089.12 km


Innermost part = ~6090 km
This is not the size of the nucleus - it's just the brightest part of the coma.
The nucleus itself is beyond the resolution of the camera.

Coma = ~158,400 km
Coma + Tail = ~347,200 km
Tail = ~188,800 km

.

The image scale listed for that image is incorrect. It's about 3 times smaller in scale than that:

When will ISON enter asteriod belt ?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37666916


With a distance from the Sun of 4.1 AU ISON is around the outer edge of the belt. At 3.3 AU it crosses into the bigger part of the belt, that is around 16 June.

You forgot to mention, that it will be about 80-100 million kilometers above the asteroid belt.
No way to disturb it.

as for my statement re: gravity and electromagnetic forces:

take a given non-magnetic mass and another object
take an equal given magnetic mass and another magnetically capable object

which force is stronger, the gravitational force, or the magnetic force?

it takes large amounts of mass to have appreciable gravitational forces. magnets are a far different story. with gravity, the larger mass attracts the [much] smaller mass. surely you're aware of the high-strength neodymium magnets that can attracts masses noticeably larger than its own?

you continue to label me tard, another over generalization, and a personal attack. you seem to have an agenda.

Re: COMET C2012/S1 ISON : COMA/TAIL OF OVER 64,400 KM [UPDATE]
...


you're conflating subject matter. i am very anti-doom and i often talk about that in the voice chat. that's where my presentation comment stems from. i see most of the doom crap here as fear mongering in an attempt to bog people's minds and hearts down in a quagmire of negative quicksand.

as for my statement re: gravity and electromagnetic forces:

take a given non-magnetic mass and another object
take an equal given magnetic mass and another magnetically capable object

which force is stronger, the gravitational force, or the magnetic force?

it takes large amounts of mass to have appreciable gravitational forces. magnets are a far different story. with gravity, the larger mass attracts the [much] smaller mass. surely you're aware of the high-strength neodymium magnets that can attracts masses noticeably larger than its own?

you continue to label me tard, another over generalization, and a personal attack. you seem to have an agenda.

almost all of what has been presented to us as 'history' is a well crafted series of lies and conflation. science is quite similar, these days if you don't tow the line in a dogmatic fashion you will lose your peer's respect but much more importantly your funding.

the banksters won't fund anything that disrupts their control grid.
 Quoting: genba

Didn't know there are neodymium magnets in space.
Also didn't know that electromagnetic neodymium magnets exists.

Long text, nil content.

the gravitational attraction between the two protons is roughly a trillion trillion trillion times weaker than the electrostatic repulsion. The electrical force wins, hands down. However, in spite of its phenomenal puniness, gravity can overcome all other forces if enough mass gets piled up in one place.

as i said, mass per mass, the electromagnetic forces far exceed the forces of gravity. sure you can build up quintillions of times the matter to get some strong gravity, but that's not a fair comparison. even then, the electromagnetic forces hold their own.

What has the link to do with your original claim?

Your original claim talks about electromagnetic forces in space.
Your link (and your italic quote) talks about electrostatic forces.

Big difference - Trying to confuse the readers?



as i said, mass per mass, the electromagnetic forces far exceed the forces of gravity. sure you can build up quintillions of times the matter to get some strong gravity, but that's not a fair comparison. even then, the electromagnetic forces hold their own.


 Quoting: genba

Quoting right from the video - nice, when it's on YouTube, it must be true.

Before you post such a video you should inform about interatomic bonds like ionic, covalent and van der Waals bonds. All these are closer to electrostatic forces than electromagnetic forces.

To prove you video wrong:
Drop a 70kg iron ball from a building to a concrete pavement. Will it bounce back or will the concrete brake?
Or smash a wrecking ball agains a concrete wall. Empirical observation confirms, that it breaks the concrete and is not bounced back from electromagnetic forces.

Or drop an iron ball into water. According to the video it shouldn't sink but also bounce back because of the electromagnetic forces.

And best of all: If the video is right and the ground is electromagnetic you should get a magnet to hover above the pavement. If you can built such a device and it's working, you'll for sure get the Nobel Prize.


But what has all this to do with your claim of immense electromagnetic forces in space. Atoms and molecules are quite rare in space.

Next try - I'm still waiting for the proof of your claim, that "gravity is a piss-poor force compared to the electromagnetic forces" in space.

Re: COMET C2012/S1 ISON : COMA/TAIL OF OVER 64,400 KM [UPDATE]
There is a correction to my calculation of the comet ISON sizes some pages ago.


[link to www.aerith.net]
The value in the third line for 1 pixel = 2" is wrong.
The value for the field (7' x 4') is also questionable - it gives 0.60"/px horizontal and 0.46"/px vertical.

Most probably the values are from an earlier picture or it's a display detail with the original values kept.




Nevertheless, the astrometric data of the picture gives a value of: 1 pixel = 0.647" (Thanks Astro)
[link to nova.astrometry.net]

Corrected calculation with: 1 pixel = 0.647"

Innermost brightest part = 1 px = 0.647"
Coma = 26 px = 16.8"
Tail + coma = 57 px = 36.9"
Distance Earth-ISON = 4.199 AU = 628,161,459 kilometers

The correct values:

Innermost part = ~1970 km
This is not the size of the nucleus - it's just the brightest part of the coma.
The nucleus itself is far beyond the resolution of the camera.

Coma = ~51,200 km
Coma + Tail = ~112,400 km
Tail = ~61,200 km

When will ISON enter asteriod belt ?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37666916


With a distance from the Sun of 4.1 AU ISON is around the outer edge of the belt. At 3.3 AU it crosses into the bigger part of the belt, that is around 16 June.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3616254

You forgot to mention, that it will be about 80-100 million kilometers above the asteroid belt.
No way to disturb it.

 Quoting: Hydra


you're assuming gravity is the only way it could influence anything.

gravity is a piss-poor force compared to the electromagnetic forces.
 Quoting: genba


To an extremely high degree of accuracy we can predict the positions of all the objects in the solar system using just gravitational forces. While electromagnetic forces are stronger than gravitational forces the fact that most objects are electrically neutral means the electrical force is negligible. A strong electrical charge would require an additional term in the perturbation mechanics. Such a term has never been needed. Gravitational forces fall off as one over r squared. Electrical dipoles fall off as one over r cubed. Magnetic dipoles fall off as one over r to the fourth. The long range electrical and magnetic forces can be ignored.
