NASA and the SWIFT scientists are estimating 5 km for the nucleus.. If it is in anyway huge ,[like I havent ruled this out yet] then it will have some effect whenit gets into the "inner solar system.. as we learned from Elenin... even if it disintegrates near perihelion [closest to the sun] it will still track on orbit.. so lets post science and let people present any "evidence they have... then shut it .. and believe what you wish..

NEW NASA OBSERVATION PROGRAM n November 2013, comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) will pass the Sun at just 0.012AU (~1.1-million kilometers above the solar surface), classifying it as a Sungrazing Comet, and potentially a spectacular one! Comet ISON is still very far away, and thus it remains difficult to predict exactly how bright the comet will become in November. However, there does exist the potential for this to be one of the brightest comets of the past century. To that end, NASA has requested a small committee of cometary experts to be formed to coordinate an observing campaign for this comet, under the assumption that it will become easily-visible by the latter part of 2013. The individual members of the team are listed at the bottom of this page. ORIGINAL POST -- alright guys I measured it and heres what I got .. Quoting: rphunter [link to www.nasa.gov] the arc minute on the SWIFT image was 60 mm [millimeters] and the comet itself [nucleus, no coma] was 9 mm so its one arc second per milimeter or 9 arc seconds so using this NASA MATH DONE ON COMET ENCKE [link to docs.google.com (secure)] THEY CONCLUDE..[im posting this so you can check mymath too :)] problem 5 . the comet in the math lesson was 114 million KM away and at that distance each arc minute was 33,000 km so here it states on the NASA article [link to www.sen.com] Swift's observations in January were made at a distance of 604 million kilometres (375 million miles) from Earth ??cross mutiply?? 114,000,000 604,000,000 --- --- 33,000 x or 19932000000000 = 114,000,000 [X] X = 174842.10526315789473684210526316 KM PER ARC MINUTE AND I MEASURED IT FROM THE PHOTO AT 9 MM OUT OF 60 so at .15 arc minute we get a maximum measured value of 174,842 [times] 0.15 to get a whopping 26226.315789473684210526315789465 or an apparent measured diameter of 26,226 KM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK DID I DO IT RIGHT...measured it onscreen with my Silva ranger!!! so comet diameter of 26,226 km !!!!!! or 5km in the article ? if i made a mistake please point it out.. ALRIGHT just for comparison I remeasured it so heres the other calcs... 8 mm = 23312.280701754385964912280701747 or 23,312 KM 7 MM = 20398.245614035087719298245614028 OR 20,398 KM 6 MM = 17484.21052631578947368421052631 OR 17,484 KM WHAT DOES IT MEASURE TO YOU?

You are not the first to make these and come to the same conclusion. I used the same standardized and accepted method to conclude the coma of NEAT was roughly slightly larger than Earth before it began producing a coma and I was flamed by over two dozen shills simultaneously on this forum and at least 30 on Phil Plaits "BAD ASStronomy" forum. i was subsequently banned , apparently for proving my point and proving them all lairs.. Couple that with NASA's own insistence that ISON is not producing a coma and the conclusion is this is the approximate actual diameter of the object.

| rphunter (OP) User ID: 31373507 United States04/03/2013 08:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to en.wikipedia.org] In a recent study, 1,897 observations were used to create a secular light curve. The resulting plot shows the comet increasing its brightness relatively quickly at R+4.35 [Unit?].[19] If this continues up to perihelion, the comet could reach magnitude −17, brighter than the full moon. However, it may exhibit a "slowdown event", like the ones exhibited by many other Oort cloud comets, among them C/2011 L4. In that case, the brightness will increase less quickly and the comet, although still giving a good performance, will not be as bright as expected. In the same reference it has been determined that this is a "baby comet" (i.e. an object with a photometric age less than 4 comet years).[19] The temperature at perihelion has been calculated to reach 2700°C, sufficient to melt lead and iron. Additionally, the comet will come within the Roche limit, meaning it may disintegrate due to the Sun's gravity. SAT IMAGE [link to rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu] IMPACT:Gulf OF Alaska!

Quoting: Comet ISON - icy traveller? 29690988 Initial signs of our galaxy's halo came from the Chandra observatory, which observed eight objects shining brightly in X-ray light, and found that some of this light was being absorbed by charged oxygen atoms around the Milky Way. Scientists determined that this absorbing gas is between 1 million and 2.5 million Kelvin (1.8 million and 4.5 million degrees Fahrenheit) — a few hundred times hotter than the surface of the sun. [link to www.space.com] It's time once and for all to toss the "icy" comet theory into the bin - The halo around a comet is no different to the northern lights - it it ionized gas glowing from the effects of the sun's magnetism. Common sense is applicable here when I ask you, how without the hand of some god can a comet travel through a plasma rich environment (as quouted above and via the link, 1.8 million and 4.5 million degrees Fahrenheit) and still retain it's ice? BS has come full circle. Yep, they already know it's a fake explanation, but to admit the truth is to admit the electric universe and totally trash all of jewish science along with all of their fake Nobel laureates and their fake quantum science. It will also dethrone the 'god of science", Albert Eisenstein, who was actually an idiot savant given cookies by his wife to write mathematical formulas. he was also a rabid plagiarist. It's time we gave recognition to the real god of modern science, the father of every real technological advancement we now enjoy, Nicola Tesla. he wasn't jewish, so he was buried in the annals of history by jewish ran academia and their goddamned gatekeepers. There is no way the tail of comet or it's coma can be explained by sunlight illuminating out gassing alone, that is a LAME theory , the glowing is an electrical phenomenon caused by the electron flux of the solar wind. |

Quoting: Anonymous astrophysicist 1184195 Funny, my firewall detected a malicious trojan on your link and won't let it through.. Funny, mine doesn't. mine doesn't either If you do not provide your identification your information is completely incredible and not to be believed. That goes for ASSTROLL, who i happen to know the identity of. he is very well known, a laughing stock and a pedophile. You're just a pathological liar. You apparently don't know who I am if you think I'm a pedophile. |

Could you blow it up and explain for laymen like me what we can look for to be enhanced with this filter? Ive colorized it and croped it with GIMP .. uploaded it but that may take time for the mods .. my real objective as a non participant observer is to get the main physics traits of any significant object which would be -chemical composition [spectroscopy] -diameter and density -rotational period and axis Shot some fresh images of ISON tonight so that I could do the rotational gradient filter as requested. I used T11 on itelescope.net to grab 3x180 second exposures (stacked in Deep Sky Stacker). Here's both the filtered and the unfiltered image: Quoting: Dr. Astro [link to dropcanvas.com] There may be a faint jet at about 2 o'clock, but it's hard to say if that's truly a feature of the comet or not. It almost looks like an anti-tail. SAT IMAGE [link to rammb-slider.cira.colostate.edu] IMPACT:Gulf OF Alaska! En [link to yadi.sk (secure)] Ru [link to yadi.sk (secure)] |
