Comet ISON
DIR By: lynx wind

Keep a close eye on what is being called Comet ISON. It will be
moving very fast and very close to our Sun on Nov 28th, then
re-emerge from the Sun and start heading back out of the solar
system in Dec/Jan. Its journey is coinciding with heightened
Solar activity, and ISON is acting like a solar flare magnet
which is blowing its protective coma back. ISON may not be a
typical snow ball comet. It appears it may be quite large, and
possibly not a cohesive object at all. The Earth will be moving
though the orbit of ISON which could provide for some
magnificent meteor showers.
The size of ISON is being estimated by NASA at a 5Km diameter
while others are speculating it could be 20 Km or more in
diameter. In comparison to Comets Enke and Lovejoy it appears
to be much much larger. Some are putting its size at several
Earth diameters. You be the judge.
Something I find odd is that ISON is not being named after its
discoverer, and it was first said to be the comet of the
century. Now experts are saying it may not put on a good show
at all, it may break apart in its close approach to the Sun.
This could scatter ISON across a 376,000km swath as it heads
back out. Our moon is about 400,000km from Earth, give or take
40,000km.
Watch for the topic to definitely heat up after Thanksgiving
when we see it re-emerge.
Heads Up!

inconceivible that there is such a descrepency in size
estimates.

cant they do radar measurements for size?

Yes, I am sure NASA and the SOHO/Lasco scientist have a very
good image and size of this object. I can imagine why they may
downplay it. Here are some photos from today Nov 29 at 17:19
Julian time. I took the original phot, zoomed in and adjusted
contrast and exposure to reveal the largest and hottest objects.
Its 8.6 million miles from the sun in these photos.

One more photo showing the Object(s) with some of the jets of
plasma. I am sure this object has been changed after skimming
the sun with its 5000F temp. ISON was moving at 700,000 mph at
its closest approach yesterday. NASA keeps calling this a dirty
snowball comet, BS. They also said it broke up, BS. These
experts can't see what amateurs can see. You wont see these
images in newspapers or on the news.
This is probably a planetary core of heavier metals, iron and
rock probably due to its effects on Mars as it passed. It seems
to have caused a lot of shaking , dust and possibly volcanic
eruptions on Mars. Heads up, it will go over our North Pole (40
million miles away) on Dec 26 dragging a lot of debris in its
wake.

Im thinking it was an ice covered iron core. Ice is all gone,
iron going to make us a visit. The debris will have spred out as
if a shotgun pattern.
BUT WAIT.!
WHY IS THE TAIL POINTING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AFTER GOING
AROUND THE SUN.???
ISNT SUPPOSED TO POINT AWAY FROM THE SUN.?
LOOK AT THE NASA IMAGES.

Yes, if this were a typical comet made up of frozen ice and dust
the plasma and ion tail would point away from the sun. This is
a debris trail and the core is probably made up of melted
shrapnel like chunks. Some of these chunks may be quite large,
other debris strewn across 100's of thousands of miles may be
quite small like refrigerator to dust size. How fun - not.
Take a look at another sun grazer, Comet LoveJoy which came
close to the Sun and re-emerged. It regained its tail pointing
away from the sun and its electrical charge.
It does appear ISON and its debris will continue on its
projected path 40 million miles above our North Pole on December
26th. Then on Jan 15/16 Earth starts moving through its entry
debris field left from its entry into the inner solar system.
