Visit my post #169..follow the link.
Aside from the Electrical interface the Comet undergoes..the Sun also quadrant/hemisphere excites from the comets approach..and as shown in the c/2002 v1 Neat ani ....the quantum jump of ions and protons is staggering.

As the comet accelerates toward the Sun electrons begin to be stripped from the nucleus like a "cold-cathode". It develops a visible glow discharge and Birkeland current tail. These electrical effects we call a comet. At some point, more powerful arcs strike on the comet nucleus and give rise to "cathode-jets" which move about and burn circular craters. The electrical discharges to a cometary cathode will follow the magnetic field lines in the vicinity of the comet. So it will be interesting to compare the jet directions with the solar wind field direction which, because it spirals out from the Sun, does not coincide with the comet-Sun line. There is no "shock wave" to be understood in the usual sense. A charged body in the plasma of space will form a sheath to protect itself from its electrical environment. The boundary of the comet's coma defines the virtual anode region of a plasma glow discharge. Electrons are accelerated outward and positive ions inward across the sheath. Strong X-rays are generated where these particles recombine.

At the Electric Universe website are articles on how the Suns Plasma emmisions effect the Earths magnetic field.
A comet on approach..perihelion and outleg causes the Sun to throw off Plasma's..which lace the inner planets and effect their fields..if they have one.

Thanks.

Plasma X-Rays !?!

I find this very interesting in the study you provided.

'No one expected comet Hyakutake (small comet & far away)
to be a powerful source of X-rays. "Astronomers using ROSAT (The European Space Agency's Roentgen satellite) were SHOCK
to FIND X-RAYS emission around the comet 1,000 times more intense than anyone had predicted."

hmmm?

I wonder if this space satellite(ROSAT) is being used right now to check and study T7 and Q4 for possible X-Ray emissions, since these two giants will leave alot of debris
in earth orbital plane ?

T7 will pass us closest at 0.26 AU, which is @ 24 million
miles according to NASA/JPL chart, but the tail might hit us on the 17th of May ???

It all depends on the out-gasing of T7, which I don't know ! We (The public) don't know the real size of T7 and Q4 yet ? This Satursday we will see T7 and Bradfield F4 then the pc's of the puzzle will start falling into place slowly ?!

I wonder if ROSAT have a website link ?

Thanks again...got to go
vet out

> effect there fields<

I am not good in the writing department, so forgive me if these questions sound nutty or not worded in the correct
order.

I am going to try to stay awake to see these comets in the pre-dawn hours, but I was thinking why T7 was not reported
or images taken of it ? It seem that T7 is late to the party ?

The path of T7 would of put it near the big coronal hole that is present on the sun right now, which are causing strong solar winds and shock waves , maybe supersonic shock waves Mach 3 to 8 + and it can effect the interplanetary magnetic field lines ?

Reading your post and data , I learn that "The shock wave is in the wrong place" said Dr Rayman. When some comets are hit ? What if T7 megnetic line was effected by these strong
Cosmic rays-typically protons particles. All of the sudden
for a brief moment the electrons that keep comet on track
was cut ?

This might explain why Soho is down, it's been 3 days now?

Does this make any sense to you light speed ?
Please understand I only have high school eduction in our inner-city of Chicago (60's) and am a good old soldier with the U.S. Army. Just thinking about T7 no show today ?
