Cosmic implications of Comet Ison
    #19200245 - 11/28/13 10:58 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Just curious if anyone had any thoughts on this whole comet Ison thing. Kinda cool the idea of the brightest comet of our lifetimes lighting up the night sky right through the holiday season. Makes me think of biblical stories and stuff.

Anyone have any thoughts to share?

Can you see it now? I was outside the other night and it was still kind of light out and I could see a huge star it seemed like and I wondered if it was ISON.

like to think of comets as this.  if us humans were capable of sending a spaceship to one of those stars that have a planet in orbit giving off the same gases lights as earth supposably does, over the much length in time the spacecraft be floating through space, dust would collect attaching to.  by the time finally reaching planet sent to, would look like a giant comet.  that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

or...

maybe comets are spirits that have died and are struggling to return to earth due to past life complications.  those complications acting as a purgatory, prevent spirit from returning by attaching mass, changing the route.  hmm... yea, that one, too.

I wish I was in a warm climate with some mushrooms. Its like 20 degrees here and I haven't grown in over a year D:

Sitting on a beach or in the jungle with a 4g dose and a comet wizzing by would be a once in a life time thing

huh?  once in lifetime.  in santa cruz, they have like meteor showers overhead, something like that.  many shooting stars whizzing through space. 

with a four gram dose, staring at the stars would surely bring about a once in lifetime

This is a bit more than a meteor shower

Closest to the Sun      Nov. 28 (Thanksgiving)
Closest to the Earth    Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve)

I always thought that the dates were interesting, even though the Thanksgiving part really only applies to us in the USA as far as I know.

Does anyone know of any significance other than Thanksgiving?

Regardless, if ISON makes it around the Sun it should be very interesting!

Y'all need to spend more time learning about astronomy :yesnod:

A meteor shower happens when little stones enter our atmosphere. The friction makes them glow and burn, that's what we see as the light flash.

A comet is a large chunk of stone and ice, orbiting around the sun. Every once in a while the comet approaches the sun. How often? Depends on his orbit. Some comets complete their path every couple of years, others need dozens or even hundreds of years to come around again.

Now this comet ISON was discovered last year and happened to have its perihelion less than three hours ago. Perihelion is the point where the comet is closest to the sun. It always is a critical point because the comet can melt away. This happened today as well. ISON is almost completely gone.

"Comet of the century" and those terms are media inventions by people who are desperate to sell you a great headline. This comet was never supposed to become overly bright. It could have gained a brightness similar to comet Hale-Bopp in the 90s, but nothing really standing out. And now he's vanished without much of a show anyway.

And one more thought: comets are billions of years old, like most rocks. We humans as a species are a few millions old at best. Cosmic implications? Nah...

Namaste, and may the universe inspire you

I don't believe it is cosmically significant, but it should be cool to look at. :thumbup: Wish I had a telescope. :sad:

I believe it's the northern hemisphere we should be looking at.

Not completely. Bits and pieces have survived:


We'll see if they become visible in the next days. So far they're still way too close to the sun.

"I'd like to know what happened to our half-mile of material that was going around the sun," Pesnell said of the comet. "We should be able to see something."
