Unexpected comet surprises that invalidate accepted comet theory:

• comet x-rays,
• a coma several times the size of the Sun glowing in ultraviolet light,
• strong electrical and turbulent magnetic fields,
• million degree coma “temperatures”,
• supersonic jets,
• collimation of these jets over great distances,
• coherent and filamentary comet tails spanning up to a hundred million miles and more,
• explosive outbursts of dust hundreds of millions of miles from the Sun,
• “inexplicable” break up and complete disintegration of comet nuclei far from the Sun,
• sharply etched surface relief,
• bright surface patches (camera saturation, most obvious in the case of Tempel 1),
• “impossibly” fine comet dust
• dead black cometary surfaces
• lack of water on all four comets visited
• double flash on impact of Deep Impact

Cometary scientists are stretching and squeezing the water vapor theory every time they learn of another thing that doesn't fit...

"bright surface patches (camera saturation, most obvious in the case of Tempel 1)" Isn't this the same phenomenon Hoagland claims for the 'face on Mars' and a nearby 'pyramid'?

I will debunk point number 1. Coma several times the size of the sun would be visible anywhere in the solar system or outside for at least a thousand lightyears. Period.

This is pseudoscience. Its crap like this that propogates theories like the towers were blown up.

Now, now, Swordmaker.

Do you really expect dyed-in-the-wool traditionalists to be influenced by and impressed with . . .

FACTS????

And that's your scientific expectation of them??? LOL.

Personally, I think the . . . unfolding of unexpected things in the cosmos has barely begun. But what do I know. I'm just a curious layman . . . and a literalist Bible reader, at that.
