haha. i thought you were just being an ass

Any thoughts on the possibility of it causing two shadows to be cast? As on a full moon my garden is awash with shadows from that bright old rock we call the moon.
Given that the comet maybe brighter than the moon (hopefully), what effect will or may this have beyond the hopefully amazing sight of seeing such a bright objects pass by?

Will it be a first in terms of a possible two shadow effect?

Funny, this hasn't got much attention yet. Not even on face book.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I will be sure to prep all my camera gear to capture this "once-in-a-civilisation's-lifetime event". I can't wait!!!

Begin the countdown until all the kooks start making threads about how every earthquake on the planet is being caused by this comet, or how the comet is really a UFO, or what ISON really stands for [insert acronym here]...

Thanks again!

Oh no do you know what you have done? You have given every Elenin, Nibiru, Mayan 2012 conspiracist an excuse when things don't happen.....it's all about the comet! Elenin was a precursor to what is coming a warning which we did not heed. The comet IS Nibiru. 21 dec 2012 is the day when the comet crosses the path of Pluto so the Mayans were right but they were giving us a warning date not an end of world date. The real end of world is in 2013..........

I bet you something like this will start on ATS shortly !

Wonder what made so many cultures sure it was a bad omen

Its a bad omen because a long time ago a object visited our skies and light them up. Some refereed to it as a dragon. It wrapped its tail around there earth and the earth stood still. Three days of darkness or light followed. Stars were perceived to fall from the sky as the earth changed its tilt. The oceans left there bowls and sloshed over the land. Mountains where pushed up and cities swallowed. This can happen when we enter a new age. Which is what we are doing now.. It is a time of cleansing followed by the return of a teacher. This story can be found in many different cultures around the world.

And come 2013 the only place you'll find that story is on ATS or Twitter THAT'S the new age!

As for the comet - goddamn awesome! Can't wait, two visible comets next year - fantastic

Lets not eliminate the possibility of this being something to the effect of the hopi indian story about the blue star of kachina dancing in the gallery our the possibility if the christian story of there being three days of light with no darkness when this lit up comet is on the back side of the earth and three days of darkness when this comet passes between the earth and the sun, just because predictions like this were made by religious belief systems doesn't mean they are wrong , I'm sure that in ancient times there was a mix of religious belief and science that got all mixed up in ancient text.

I simply cannot wait for the numerous threads touting the dangers of this rogue comet. Remember Elenin. So much fun. Thats of course contingent on us making it through this December first. LOL.

reply to post by purplemer


Look here, its started already. This comet is not a comet its a teacher. Oh what fun this will be.

reply to post by karen61057


Lol.
Its a comet.

Whats this teacher business? Is he frozen in the comet and when it gets closer to the sun he pops out and says "boo" right next to the planet?
Elaborate entry. Seems like a show off.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Here's my qustion.
How does a comet achieve more than half the brightness of the sun, when a comet only reflects light ?

Sun 26

Comet 16

Alot of its brightness will come from ionization of its gases.

It doesn't. The magnitude scale is not linear, it is logarithmic. The moon is not half the brightness of the Sun, it is 0.000006306 (1/158,582) the brightness.

Hi,

You know they say from what I have read, no link common sence, the tell you the records from 2000 thousand years ago are off, They didn't even start a calender until the year 500 something, look it up if you really want exact date. I have read 13 years, 2000 +13 = 2013

Now they have had to correct this calender several times thru out the years. there are days in the 1800s that don't exist.

So now we have a huge comet cominging in, that's just great.
Now my concern is that the Mayan calender has never been corrected, as far as I know. Thiis troubles me.

What if C2012 S is planet X, Nubri, NASA had to fess up at some point, OH look a giant comet is coming, My bet is that this is planet X, this wouldalso explain the wings of planet X

So really what is the mass of this thing?

Thats reaching lol.

There is however evidence that this could be the same comet from 1680 or related to it.

Now if those GM guys can come up with a huge carniverous plant thats useful for making biofuel in the next few months then we can all speculate about a Day of the Triffids senario, fingers crossed

Looking forward to this, Hale bopp was pretty impressive though binoculars so really can't wait to check this one out.
