Comet Bradfield is plunging toward the sun; at closest approach on April 17th it will be well inside the orbit of Mercury. Sun-approaching comets sometimes break-apart. Will Comet Bradfield survive? No one knows.
Hehe. I've always that as something to watch out for, not hold onto.
Gas molecules are torn apart by solar ultraviolet light, causing a loss of electrons, forming electrically charged ions. The ions interact with the wind of charged particles flowing out from the sun and form an ion tail, which again can extend millions of kilometers in a direction away from the Sun. These ions are fluorescent in sunlight.
[approx est] Water probably makes up about 75% to 80% of a comet. Other common forms of ices in carbon includes carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, and formaldehyde.
*The green color given off by a comet represents Ionized Carbons.
shift;
How comets effect the Earth is still a learning curve.
Clearly,,a comet draws quantum particle jump from the Sun in interface relationship.
Comet approaches...Sun starts dumping Electrons and Protons.
The numbers of cometary passages in a system does effect the planets.
In our case..the electrons/protons get obsorbed and transient into our atmosphere on many levels...causing what?
does this influence our weather......yes.
The Sun burping plasma's off into space does effect the Earths inner magneto drive system..which influences the high pressure weather cells which dominate weather patterns.
The Earth transits thru charged particles from the comets train..and tranists thru Sun Plasma discharges.
It will be intersting to see how the weather is in 2004/2005 from these comet passages.
then too..we have had many comets appear since 91...and ..our weather is starting to change profoundly...so noted in the Arctic..where the ice thickness has declined dramatically since 1990.
very soon..the Arctic will be open water year round..a windfall for shipping.
The high pressure cells appear stronger in ident..packing more speed in winds..and duration time in position.
This year..temperatures figures per historical record recorded have been surpassed..and occured in a window 3-4 weeks earlier as seasons go.
Too early to assay *fully what these comets passages have done to our weather in totallity..as our earths multifacited syetms are still in flux from the interface.
Do things ease off..with weather modifying back to former levels as the particles are obsorbed?
or..has the cycle of comets passing and Sun burping Plasma set a very detrimental scenario into motion...ie..our Earth headed to regional then global drought sequences?
Time will tell
Some of the ani's for 2004 visits looked close..zooming the ani and changing dates reveals a different picture.
Yet,,,Comet behaviour is unpredictable.
Are you Familiar with Victor Clube of Armagh observatory?
If not..do a google using Clube/Napier...Comets and catastrophism.
They hypothesis that a super comet broke up in our solar system over a period of 20,000+ years.
the 4 seperate streams of the Taurid meteor complex are from this parent....big lurker Encke is in this stream.
Mars appears like a murder victim...here..I follow a different perspective on Mars...The planet moved in a different elliptical in past times...Venus was also a transient from somewhere..both passed near each other..and near the Earth..the myhtology of Man records this..and I beleive the world wide testimony.
Spanish Fransciscan/Dominican monks learned that **Kukulcan was a comet...Kukulcan was Venus which devasted the Earth in a sequence of 50/52 yr intervals..the reason for the Human sacrifice ident in North America/Central America/Mayan ,Aztec..other cultures in the world.
Alot of info on this..ie Mars/Venus..the mythological record.
anyhoo..the comets that have entered our system since decent record keeping have been small...small in comparison to Clube/Napiers ident.
Some scoff at this construct..yet..we have had several comets appear since 91 which were unrecorded by man...here..a comet can show up suddenely....and the size can be?
Science has been amazed/confounded by recent discoveries as the orbitors transit out from Earth..Mariner,Voyager,Galileo,Cassini etc.
Alot of theories out the door...others..still viable.
Often point readers to *Electric Universe..here divergent views appear which challenge Red/Shift ie..Halton Arp...Time measurement...Time/gravity displacement.
Quantum jump....Gas Giants having Fission events multiple times...fissioning comets..moons like babies.
The SUN....not the stable mechanism we percieve ..capable of dramitic events...like searing the planets with radiation..which causes extinction events..causes DNA change...mutations
Planets can be upset from their orbital dynamics...the change see's them in tidal stress and gravametric distortion..even Electrical interface if in close proximity.
Mans myhtology records Mars passing near the Earth..visually witnessed by man..the Greeks forward many stories.
The moons of Mars..Demos/Phobos...known to the Greeks/Romans as Terror and Route.
The *Fiery steeds of Mars.....both moons encompased in burning Plasma..they are reffed as Fiery steeds pulling Mar's Chariot.
What a bizarre/fanatsy story..or..a real event witnessed by man.
Unless they had telescopes on par with ours today..they could not see this from our present distances...so then..Mars must have been in a different orbital path.
Our Earth has moved from current elliptical orbit of 365 days..many cultures had calendars which were 360..then 365..then 360.
Immanuel Velikovsky found records from ancient cultures where calendar/year dates where in the high 280/290's.
The changes drove cultures to learning how to read the stars..aquire the new calendars ..primarily for growing.
The Mayan Sun ages..the Sun ages which ended in catastrophism.
Science in some circles has forwarded that all is uniform..and has been for millions of years...
I disagree :)
