    Naked Eye Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE - Nearest Earth July 23

    Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE has passed around the Sun and is moving into the early evening western sky. It’s currently visible by naked eye, but is dimming as it heads toward its closest approach to Earth at 0.69 AU on July 23. I’ve created two charts and an ephemeris that can be viewed on my...

    Apparent inconsistencies in our scientific understanding of comets

    I am starting this thread out of frustration at the lack of relevant content in the The Electric Comet Theory /SAFIRE Part V thread. Initially that thread - or rather, its predecessors - kept more or less on target, and there were many posts on electric comet models etc, and discussions...

    Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS)

    There is currently a comet almost visible in the sky near the sun; currently after sunset, near the set sun. Towards the end of March it should be visible in the morning sky near the horizon: Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) It's smaller and less bright than I had hoped for, so yesterday I couldn't...

    Should we have a meteor/comet interdiction program?

    This came up in one of the other threads but I thought it deserved its own line of discussion. Do you think there should be a program of ongoing meteor/comet interdiction? Personally I am thinking of a small program, possibly overseen by the US Air Force, that would conduct a few launches per...

    Comet Lovejoy?

    Has anybody in a Southern Hemisphere locale been keeping track of this? http://spaceweather.com/ Apparently this little bugger plunged into the sun's corona, never to be seen again, until it came out the other side! This appears to be required viewing to people in the Southern Hemisphere...

    A Comet casued japan earthquake

    I posted this in aother Earthqauke prediction thread but its technically O/T. It deserves its own thread for barking madness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95zMd...mbedded#at=241 A thread on Digital Spy forum alerted me to this.:)

    Should I be Scared?

    There's a bunch of sites posting about this comet that an amateur discovered, with an amateur scope, from Russia with the last name of Elenin. What scares me is ELE is a term used in FEMA documents meaning extinction level event, and nin the female goddess(to me , mother earth). Anyway it looks...

    What happens to asteroids and comets when they hit Jupiter?

    Do they become part of Jupiters molten core or what. I guess comets become water vapor in Jupiters atmosphere. Also could life exist in Jupiters atmosphere?

    Nuclear comet deflection

    A program on the Science Channel tonight laid out a situations where the US decided to not deflect a comet with nuclear weapons and instead merely evacuated the impact area with massive international help. Aside from the ridiculous idea that the international community would help the US in such...

    Small Comet bombardment of Earth!

    It sounds like a Science Fiction story, but in reality it was more like a warzone, which for those familiar with Internet Forums, should be no surprise. If I had the time I would type out the story here, making it dramatic and painful to read, much like the real events that led up to the...

    For Robinson: A Comet Thread

    To see what will happen, and this thread should try to sty about comets! There are many of them visible if you want to try this is one resource. Binoculars and a star map will help. http://www.aerith.net/comet/weekly/current.html

    Alan Hale (of Hale-Bopp Comet fame ) and "Countdown to 500 Comets"

    Hello, everyone. Mariah (Sherry Austin) here with another science education project that I want you to know about. Remember Alan Hale, co-discoverer of Comet Hale-Bopp back in the late nineties? Well, he's started an educational enterprise called Earthrise Institute and "Countdown to 500...
