People. It will be then when the end of the end begins. Having noticed that
we are a people with no value, we will fight to make value for ourselves.
We will be a world where everything has changed, and those who invoke
change will try to control us to our very whims, but we will rise and fight
against the ones who assume power. There will be a resurgence of “The power
of hearts and minds” and the Earth will go through another “Dark Age” like
the medieval era, only much worse than the before <3
People. You are about to witness the power of the media in all its blazing
glory very soon. You will hear news of devastation, and predictions of the
End of the World. We will all be subject to enduring the horrors of
uprising and human disarray. Once we have realized there is no “End of
Earth” coming from the sky, you will turn your attention back to ground
level where we will then realize we got our purses snatched while we were
looking up, and we’re all broke.
So what is the likelihood of Earth running into Ison’s debris field (on a
potentially destructive level)?
64 million km (40 million miles) away on Dec 26th to be exact.
You are telling me what I am and am not seeing?? LMAO I didn’t say I was
looking at ISON… but I have photoed a red object in the northeastern sky
multiple times for the past month. And yes I know it. 🙂
No not even close!
Because the tail of a comet always faces away from the Sun so as it curves
around the Sun and heads away from it it is going tail first with the head
of the comet following behind it.
There is too much of a curve in the dust tail in the animation above to be
almost cartoonish. However, Comet Hale-Bopp did have a pinwheel effect near
the nucleus, but not at the distance portrayed above.
Nope not true and you know it:(
Ison will NOT be getting anywhere close to Earth period!
Most comets have an ion tail which streams away from the sun and a dust
tail which is curved.
A blast for sure..lol!
@tiktak25, are being serious you can really see the red object coming our
way? Thanks, I’ll check it out!!
Go out between 3am-5am in the early morning with a clear sky and use a pair
of binoculars or telescope with wide angle and you can see a reddish object
slowing moving in the northeastern part of the sky just above horizon.
All the official trajectories since ISON was discovered had it passing WAY
ahead of US after going around the SUN;. What’s interesting is NOW it shows
ISON intercepting Earth…only way above Earths orbit…. What i’m saying
is,,,,, if ISON stayed on a flat trajectory after going around the SUN…IT
WOULD ACTUALLY HIT USNOW ; accorsing to the new data…right?
The best animation so far – Christmas will be a blast!
nice job
It looked like it hit Mercury @ 1:30 to me.
the angle looks incorrect outgoing too
What’s trailing it might – Look at were it starts out, we will go through
its debis trail in January 2014. Hard hat time 😉
Mars and comet ison
Nice video except for the tail. That tail is straight because of the solar
wind traveling a million miles per hour.
So what I wonder is if this thing might hit us.
its doing the moon walk lol he should have picked billy jean as the music
…sorry bad joke;p
because the solar wind is blowing it away from the sun. Once it’s past the
sun the solar winds blow the debris from the tail so that it’s actually
flying into it’s own tail.
