"...strong enough to affect the solar wind." Wow, my eyes are stinging already. Perhaps as the earth approaches perihelion it will outgas some of that evil CO2 and AGW will be a thing of the pass. [Yes I intended it that way.]

I’ve consumed burritos that occasioned “dramatic outbursts” later on.

Where's the WATER? Where's the ICE? Where's the dirty SNOW BALL?
H
2O is the LEAST of the out-gasing components found in the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as measured by the ROSINA spectrograph. . . yet the gravity driven cosmologists still cling to the dirty snowball model of comets claiming they are primarily composed of water ice. Yet in every single comet encounter we've had, they've found minimal water and what has been found has been made by outgassing of the OH radical encountering the solar wind composed of Hydrogen ions. . . and being created on the spot, as the director of the Deep Impact comet encounter stated it appeared to be happening when the 680 pound copper impacter hit Comet Tempel 1.
This article is on unexpected (there's that word again) outbursts jetting from 67P releasing large amounts of gas which happen quickly from the interior of the comet as it gets closer to the sun. ELECTRIC UNIVERSE PING!
If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

Let's see we've got coming out of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko:
- CH4: Methane
- NH3: Ammonia
- H2O: Water
- HH2: Acetylene
- HCN: Hydrogen Cyanide
- CO: Carbon Monoxide
- C2H6: Ethane
- CH3OH: Methanol
- H2S: Hydrogen Sulfide
- CO2: Carbon Dioxide
- OCS: Carbonyl Sulfide
- SO2: Sulfur Dioxide
- CS2: Carbon Disulfide
All of which is quite a stew only about 3.3% is water. I repeat, where's the dirty snowball?

Lots of Hydrogen Sulfide. That is one stinky comet!
More like a rotten egg than a dirty snowball :)
To: All
I think that what is occurring is what little H
2O they are encountering in the coma/atmosphere of 67P//Churyumov-Gerasimenko is entirely created by the negatively charged Hydroxyl radical OH being ejected along with all those other gases and then encountering the positively charged ionized free Hydrogen radical H+.
"This wind consists primarily of protons, the positively charged nuclei of hydrogen atoms"
space.com.
They want to be balanced with a negatively charged something or other. . . and the most active in the area is the negatively charged Hydroxyl radical OH!
These will attract each other and naturally collide and combine, emitting energy in the form of light photons creating a glow discharge in the process!
H+ > OH- = charge balanced HOH or H2O > e (photon).

Do you snort it or inject it???
Inquiring minds really don't want to know.
They just want to know where to send the body.
