Your joking...........right?

watch the video..ISON's tail is fanning out and it's debris field is 40 million miles wide and getting wider....
I'm not making this up.....This is why NASA has been LYING!!!edit on 6-12-2013 by cathar because: (no reason given)

We will be passing through the PRE perihelion portion of ISON's orbit, not the post perihelion portion. There is a big difference between the two. Doom off.
When Earth passes through the debris stream, we will encounter two populations of comet dust. One swarm of dust will be following the Comet ISON into the sun. Another swarm will be moving in the opposite direction, pushed away from the sun by solar radiation pressure. The streams will pepper opposite sides of Earth simultaneously.
source
Please watch the following clip that simulates Earth's encounter with the debris stream. Notice how the stream we pass through is moving inward, towards the middle of the solar system, and not away, as in the case of the post-perihelion part of the orbit (which is where the fragments would be).
Short clip
We will not be passing through the portion of the orbit after fragmentation. That part will be 40,000,000 miles away at its closest point, well above the ecliptic. Any large fragments will follow the orbit of their parent body.
So, unless earth is going to jump forty million miles up above the ecliptic, we will not get hit by any substantial ISON fragments. We will get some dust, but astronomers are doubtful that we will even get a meteor shower out of it. One was quoted saying not to expect to notice.
But, I suppose my sources will be useless to some, since a fraction of members are bent on believing that NASA is full of lying, liars that do nothing but lie.edit on 12/6/2013 by daryllyn because: (no reason given)

I agree.
this is an unpleasant trend currently sucking the joy out of this forum. I am all for denying ignorance, but this place would be boring without speculative threads.

That's why we I'm here, to ask questions and think for myself. Not blindly accept dogmatic regurgitated academic rhetoric. A parrot repeats what he hears, a child believes what he's told by those in authority.
How many scientists overlook or avoid areas of research because the grant money isn't there for them or peer review will be unlikely. They don't rock the boat out of fear and greed, or just plain stupidity.
But people like Thor don't care, they just want to know the truth.
