Eddies in the space-time continuum, From my understanding…an eddy is a current contrary to the main flow…as in a swirling action. A distortion on the other hand…is a change of amplitude of a wave due to a displacement of volume [perturbation]. These waves are generally very long and come in sets… Space-time appears to be four-dimensional! |

Something BIG is on the way to the sun!
From everything i have gathered, there will be a reaction from the sun. (IMG:http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov//data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2011/c3/20111215/20111215_1630_c3_1024.jpg) Anyone notice all the "love" and "joy" signs posted everywhere? |

maybe it's the wine, but comet lovejoy, described as hanging like a big cross, having a satellite moon dragging it along.... just before Christmas 2011, before all hell breaks loose in 2012.
probably just a coincidence. |

So where is this thing heading, now that it survived traveling 'through' the sun? I do not think that Lovejoy can travel thru the Sun? It went thru the corona at a distance of 510,000 miles. As a short term comet, it will most likely become a Moon indicating an Iron core. |

As a short term comet, it will most likely become a Moon indicating an Iron core. i think that was much closer at 140,000 km's. QUOTE Comet Lovejoy plunged through the sun's corona at about 7 p.m. EST today (midnight GMT on Dec. 16), coming within 87,000 miles (140,000 kilometers) of our star's surface. Temperatures in the corona can reach 2 million degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 million degrees Celsius), so most researchers expected the icy wanderer to be completely destroyed. But Lovejoy proved to be made of tough stuff. A video taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft showed the icy object emerging from behind the sun and zipping back off into space. http://www.space.com/13959-doomed-comet-lo...unter-wrap.html Hmm, "icy wanderer" is a little misleading, if it survived 1 million degrees C. |

i think that was much closer at 140,000 km's. Reports vary on distance but I think it is made of Iron. The comet came within 75,000 miles of the sun. For a small object often described as a dirty snowball, that brush with the sun should have been fatal. It is simply impossible for any ball of ice to survive that kind of heat. Or In the SDO movies, the comet's tail wriggles wildly as the comet plunges through the sun's hot atmosphere only 120,000 km above the stellar surface. |

Did you see what happened when it flew by Venus?
Venus flared toward it at first, then they seemed to "electrically" connect, the comet split into 2 separate parts, (electrically?) disconnected with Venus, and then Venus seemed to flare away from the comet, (like it was repelling) the (now) comets. It looks to me like an electrical charge was transfired between Venus and the Comet, leaving Venus with a surplus charge of energy, which it blows off soon after. (A coronal mass ejection from VENUS???!!!) |

follow up:
Comet Lovejoy was a long way from Venus, when it broke up. And the Venus "CME" is thought to be a lens flare. Though, it doesn't look like a lens flare to me. |

Comet Lovejoy was expected to break up and vaporize?
But guess what happen? Nothing… Could comet Lovejoy actually be a Venus sized planet with a moon? If true, it would take the force of a Super nova to set it on its journey. (IMG:http://www.physics.hku.hk/~nature/CD/regular_e/lectures/images/chap10/comet_tail.jpg) |

Comet Lovejoy lost its tail when it went around the sun, and then grew it back on its way back out. Isn't there some sort of lizard that can lose and grow back its tail?
It originally came from "under" the Earth, so it would have been visible for a long time before hand from the South pole, and it came from the Kreutz family of comets that originate from the same spot in the sky. Yet, this comet was not announced by the "space agencies" until after it was discovered by an amateur astronomer! Somehow Lovejoy was invisible to all the super powerful space telescopes at the south pole, that are looking exactly in that direction for just this sort of thing. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...-paranal-chile/ |

I’m starting to wonder if “Comet Tail” is a misleading term.
Planets and moons with hot Iron cores should generate magnetic fields. Somehow, solar radiation has an effect on this field and only appears as a tail when in fact it can point in any direction relative to the Comets plane to the solar source.

elreb, on a completely unrelated note, are you aware that you and i are the only two members of the 'extreme forum pilot' group. to what, do you suppose we owe that distinction? |

Actually, there are two things going on here. Rob did not grandfather in those who were under the old system… The other reason is simply that…no one is making posts! There are a lot of folks who start threads but just do not stick it out. |
