First off SnF for you! And I have a question about some verbiage on the ssd.jpl.nasa.gov...

From NASA's Ephemeris page here is a partial list to see the entire page use the "generate ephemeris" button

Center pole/equ : High-precision EOP model {East-longitude +}
Center radii : 6378.1 x 6378.1 x 6356.8 km {Equator, meridian, pole}
Target primary : Sun {source: DE405}
Interfering body : MOON (Req= 1737.400) km {source: DE405}
Deflecting body : Sun, EARTH {source: DE405}
Deflecting GMs : 1.3271E+11, 3.9860E+05 km^3/s^2
Small perturbers : Ceres, Pallas, Vesta {source: SB405-CPV-2}
Small body GMs : 6.32E+01, 1.43E+01, 1.78E+01 km^3/s^2


Here's my question, What exactly does Interfering body mean? does that denote the comet will crash into the moon? We see that the deflecting bodies are the Sun/earth. Further down we see Small perturbers Ceres, Pallas and Vesta.
Ceres and Pallas are asteroids, but Vesta is a small planet.
You can read more about these heavenly bodies here: www.asi.org...

I didn't understand what "perturbers" were so I looked that up and it means:
Variation in a designated orbit, as of a planet, that results from the influence of one or more external bodies. Gravitational attraction between planets can cause perturbations and cause a planet to deviate from its expected orbit.

Link www.thefreedictionary.com...
So does this mean that Comet Elenin/planet x/Nibiru may have it's orbit or gravitational pull thrown off course in some way? And perhaps head straight for Earth? Can you please ask him to intrepret the text from NASA and tell us all exactly what that all means? Also please visit the link and print out the page and take it with you. Just a suggestion but it's a bunch of numbers and calculations that I'm sure he will understand and hopefully be able to explain.
Again thank you Sir for doing this, I hope it's productive, we know that the comet is real and have NASA's ephemeris to guide you with exact calculations. Cheers!


SWEET! I'm definitely going to include this. Star for you.

Nibiru is mythological the astronomer said why all the fuss it doesnt exist

...what? Its a theorized, elongated orbit within a solar system. Unless the gravitational pull of the sun or the mass of the object changes, its orbit wont change.

Just because the universe is constantly expanding, doesnt mean that galaxies themselves are expanding. They're held together by a large, theorized, black hole in the center. The space in between galaxies is expanding.

Take a look at this:
Spanish Astronomers Claim Dwarf Sun Beyond Pluto

They claim it to be the talked about Niburu (or Nemesis).

He is not believable, don't waste time with an actual astronomer with that garbage.

Great journalistic reporting. I'm glad someone out there is willing to breach the subject.

One thing to keep in mind though ... especially since he's a skeptic, is that even if you do point the telescope at comet Elenin and see a raging fireball close to the size of Earth ... it may not change anything he believes.

You have to remember that he's an astronomer. Not an astrophysicist or mathematician. He's not going to be able to crunch the numbers and tell you if the comet is going to hit Earth. Or, if it misses Earth, what sort of issues it might cause our planet. He may be able to speculate on some space weather that may be caused by it's passing through our orbit ... but I think that's even a reach.

Regardless, I applaud your effort. And look forward to reading your results.
