Hint: The sky that you see at night? It is NOT the whole universe. There is a WHOLE LOT of stuff visible from the Southern hemisphere only.
Ever see the Southern Cross? Alpha Centauri? No? Damn....neither did I. Guess they are a hoax too?
I don't suppose the idea of asteroid approaching the Earth from "the bottom" or Southern Hemisphere ever occured to you?
Jeez, dude, get your head out....
Since you are obviously not able to take part in a fact based discussion, I would suggest that you move to another thread.
I've never seen George Bush or John Kerry in person. Maybe they're hoaxes, and the stuff on TV is a bunch of special effects.
Two out of the four planets in the inner Solar System are bigger than 10000 km in diameter.
(Or maybe that's a hoax, too.)
It seems clear that "largest body ever recorded " is to be placed in the "popped out" context ...
NEWSFLASH.... Even though the EFFECTS of air have been observed for millenia, the actual visual EVIDENCE of air has not been confirmed. We here at CBS News, via faxed scientific data from the Presumed Coalition of Air Non-Believers (PCAN) have concluded that air does not exist and never has.
This massive hoax perpetuated on the American public is believed to be the work of Karl Rove.
Dan Rather reporting...
Ah, you must believe that the Earth is round.
Nice try. What facts are you talking about? So far, you have not based any "hoaxation" on a fact.
Indeed, you have tried to distort a fact: Comet Bradford is NOT 10000km large. The actual cometary body, or head, is at most 10 miles large. The rest of the 'size' is its coma and dust cloud. And, since those particles have acheived escape velocity relative to the comet, they are considered independent members of the solar system.
Ever hear of C/2001 Q4 (NEAT)? Well, that was discovered, grew to magnitude 4, and faded. No big deal there. I never saw it....but then again the sky conditions were terrible for the two weeks when it COULD have been seen visually. But that does not mean it wasn't there.
And as for moving to another thread. Go Pound Sand.

I saw the pictures of Toutatis...it should be named "TURD"-atis! Its the attack of the Space Feces...run for your lives!
Bradford originally started out at near ZERO (OK, the head was a few miles big). There is NO EXACT WAY to tell how big a coma will grow when a comet nears the sun. (remember Kahotek?) And a 10000 km coma does not spring up "in a few days". Both comets Hayutake and Hale-Bopp took weeks to grow their comas. So did Bradford.
The coma is ephemeral - as soon as the comet leaves the sun, the coma diminishes and disappears. The next trip, who knows how big it will get. When it comes to comets, "parts is parts" just does not hold.
And the strange shape of Toutais? That comes from radar studies of the comet by RADAR, not visual observations. The reason to "watch closely" is to detect the twinkling, variations in brightness that hold clues to the rotation and albedo of the asteroid, NOT to get a snapshot of the rock posing.
Tell me again....just what IS this "hoax" that you are trying to purport. One sentance. What do you think they are trying to say, and what do you think is the truth?
So what was the hoax and who was the hoaxer?
Whats with all these "suggestions." Why dont you stick with what they say. If I said the scriptures suggested that Nero was the Anti-Christ (which they do) you would say I was crazy because then the second coming would have already occured. If you are going to broadcast HOAX, you ought to at least be clear what the hoax is, who the perpetrator of the hoax is, and why it is a hoax. You are as clear as mud. So what if it can only be seen near the Antarctic, last time I checked that was in the Southern Hemisphere. Did we have a polar shift last night that Im not aware of? Have you got nothing more important to bitch about?
He wants it to hit the earth as the beginning of the "end times" so he can get raptured out of this unGodly place.
Who are all those folks down in Antarctica? Are they zombies or space aliens?
