Big comet plunging toward our Sun
Spaceweather.com ^ | 4-16-04 | Orlando

Posted on 04/16/2004 1:17:04 PM PDT by Orlando

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.

The Temple of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza..also know as El Castillo.
3 Temples builtone upon the other..this site is ancient.

The *Serpent[Comet..or as Velikovsky Forwards... Venus....**should have reffed that better in the previous post..as I beleive Kukulcan was Venus..Qetzalcoatl to the Aztecs]...
The Serpent staircase...the Serpent slidding down into Underworld....denoting its power of life/death..its eventual passing in finality..as Venus was captured by our Sun..and is in its near circular orbit...still *cooling off from its transit.

1962 Photo of the Seprent heads...they are dmaged now and fenced off.



Chac Mool gazing at Kukulcan.....several at Chichen Itza.....how many people has their hearts ripped out on these alters?

Interesting !

When Mr. Bradfield found F4 he estimated the size at @ 10,000 Km (Earth=12,000Km?) there was only one story that cover Mr. Bradfield statement. There were no follow-up or media coverage.
Now comes Comet Q4 (No size estimate), but using this photo
taken on May 6th , we can get a little idea on real size of Q4. In this photo Q4 is over 30 million miles away, now at the bottom right is Venus which is almost the same distance
away from earth. Compare both and the sizes are almost the same. Venus is almost the same size as Earth.

You should start a new thread - "How big are Q4 and T7 ?"

It's best that this thread stay in FR back-pages and away
from spot-light, because of it's nature of studies.
What we are doing here is looking up and around our planet
and what is near us as this world goes changes on all levels....

Light Speed is right in so many ways, and L.S. is not alone
there are many archaeologists today that are concluding that previous civilizations were far more advanced than is generally thought. Many of the past civilizations were wiped-out , during global calamity and disasters.

There are many evidences to point to comet/asteriod impacts and solar events...In the Holy Bible and other writings around the world suggest these events occur, and the evidences and ruins are right in front of us all.

There are many cities that are still buried in the jungles
of Central and South America, and they are finding many old underwater cities of the past. What destroyed them ??

I beleive in the power of Good (+) and Neg (-) electron & protrons is all around us , right down to the soul, when the neg(-) powers over-take the Good (+) it effects everything around us, and I beleive it effects our planet and solar system and even asteriods and comets...

Jesus Christ warned us about these and many things, and here it is, and here they come... The wonders from the heavens...





The only news that reveal the estimated size of the comet Bradfield F4 came from Bill Bradfield country --Australia.

"The former government rocket propulsion scientist has spent 900 hours gazing the heavens since his last comet in 1995."

"The comet was 237 million km from Earth and estimated to be 10,000 KM in diameter."

"having a good-eye"

"What makes his latest find --the 18th comet he has discovered- so remarkable is that it was done with a simple $300 handmade telescope."


http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,9311907%255E2682,00.html


They interview Mr. Bill Bradfield, this is how they got the estimated size, they were the only ones.....?

Thanks. The article is dated April 18.
BTW I couldn't see any proof (media article dated before April 12) that Bradfield was really discovered March 23.

Are you sure it is Venus ? It looks like Sirius to me.

Your right, Spaceweather just posted that information.
'Sirius is the bright star on the right'

Thank you spaceweather... Sorry , I stand corrected .

Excellent observation.

And if you look closely above the comet, I believe M44 the Beehive star cluster can also be seen.

I been looking at that 1962 photo of the Serpent(Dragon)
head. I can barely notice a man figure with headgear of those times. The figure is super small and it's damaged/aged/weathered with time, but it's there by the ear
of the dragon serpent.

They refer to them as flying dragons emiting fire in the sky.
They must of looked like flying comets in those times.
I seen that image before ? hmm

I found the image that come close to matching that old image on the serpent dragon ear. This image is very intertesting to study, because the device in the hand is like those you find in ancient Egypt/middle east times.

As Q4 passed by Earth, we got lucky because if it pass came up on April 19th instead of May 9th it might of hit the south pole. Here's some sky charts that will help us locate and view T7 and Q4 in the coming days.

In closing :

The ancient people of the past was not that lucky .

The question is when ? , and what will they find 1,000 years + after the event and will they find any reminds of our civilization & artifacts ? Maybe Mt Rushmore in SD
because everything with time turns to dust

Immanuel Velikovsky's book..*Worlds in Collision forwards an excellent stream of sequential events with world wide cultural/mythological records..many seem to testify to the same event witnessed.

Ancient Chinese records are rare..ie..their were some orgy record burning events where much of thier written history went up in smoke.
Fragments survive..one..the Annuls of Emperor Yahu...vouched for by Confucious in a later period.
In Emperor Yahu's reign a spectacular portent appeared in the sky's..was luminous.
Ocean water was pulled gravimetrically by this prodigy into the sky..towering above the mountains as the record goes..then a *Lightning bolt/thunderclap sequence..and the waters fell back down..inundating Inland China.
China was flooded for near 100 yrs..the devastaion was profund..as Emperor Yahu ordered mountains to be pyhsically carved away to release the inland water.
After some 40 + yrs the man assigned this task failed..Yahu had him executed.
His Son undertook his fathers assignment and eventually released the waters.

Some comment that this was just Chinas inland flooding /yearly cycle from the Himalayas.
Velikovsky's research forwrds that this was not the case..not river overflow..but catastrophism.

Other cultures have similar record of the lightning bolt loud noise event..then cataclysm..with waters mowing down forests..sweeping continents..only those who went to the highest mountains escaped.
Winds with speeds surpassing anything we have recorded.
tied to this in time sequence is world wide mythology of Volcanoes going off..Earthquakes and ruin..firestorms.

The electrical interface account of Yahu seems to be singular as ident..
but the catastrophism ..very few men survived story is self repeating many times.
The Mayan legend of Catastrophism and Sun ending ages appears to have Validity.

July 2002

An asteroid big enough to obliterate Britain and devastate a continent COULD be on a collision course with earth, scientists predict.

There is a remote, though real possibility, that the mile and a half-wide object known as 2002 NT7, may collide with the earth on February 1st, 2019. The energy released from such an impact would be somewhere in the region of 750 million times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

The uncertainties in its orbit are very large - at the moment the chances of catastrophe are about 1 in 500,000. Further observations are needed to more accurately predict it trajectory. Indeed, astronomers are keen to point out that future observations could change the situation dramatically - for the better.

Even so, the object has been given a rating on the so-called Palermo scale of 0.06. The Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale (to give it its full name) was developed to enable NEO (near earth object) specialists to categorize and prioritise potential impacts over a wide range of dates, energies and probabilities. Values between -2 and 0 indicate situations that merit careful monitoring. Positive Palermo Scale values, such as that for NT7, will generally indicate situations that merit some level of concern.

The asteroid was detected on 5 July by the Linear Observatory in New Mexico. Since then astronomers worldwide have amassed hundreds of observations. The fact that NT7 is so bright and easily observable at the moment, means that it is bound to show up in old photographs, allowing astronomers to calculate a very precise orbit.

NT7 circles the Sun every 837 days and travels in a tilted orbit from about the distance of Mars to just within the Earth's orbit. Its impact velocity on 1 February 2019 would be around 28km a second, enough to cause global climate changes.

Too close for comfort

On the 14 June, in one of the closest escapes yet, the earth narrowly avoided disaster after a space rock the size of a football pitch passed within the moon's orbit, missing our planet by a trifling 120,000 km (75,000 miles).

The asteroid, catalogued as 2002MN, was travelling at over 10 kilometres a second (23,000 miles per hour), and was only detected several days after its closest approach by astronomers working on the Lincoln Laboratory Near Earth Asteroid Research (Linear) search programme in New Mexico.

If the object had collided with the planet we would have had no warning whatsoever.

Although the impact of such a rock would not have had global consequences, the local devastation caused would have been comparable to the Siberian Tunguska event of 1908 when 2,000 square kilometres of forest were flattened. If such a blast were translated to a city the size of London, it would be by far the greatest natural disaster ever to befall modern humanity.

Many scientists agree that the probability is actually quite high that a Tunguska-sized object will hit us in our lifetimes. Indeed, the odds are far, far lower than winning the Lotto.

The fact that 2002MN approached the earth from the Sun means that it was nigh on impossible for ground based observatories to spot this potential hazard until it had passed. Space-based telescopes, such as Hubble and the future European Gaia spacecraft, are the only means of searching for asteroids in the daytime sky.

Estimated Diameter of Asteroid: 50-120 metres
Orbital Period: 894.9 days


2002MN Orbital Diagram

**2002MN's close passage with the Earth warped its orbit..requiring recalculation.
Hope they got the math right : )

January 2002

Near Miss
Yet again Earth has come perilously close to an encounter with a large space rock.

On January 7 an asteroid, thought to be about 300 metres in diameter, hurtled passed the Earth at less than three times the distance to the Moon - approximately 830,000 kilometres (510,000 miles).

Although this may seem quite a distance, in cosmic terms it's a hare's breath.

At a size of 300 meters, this asteroid would be large enough to devastate an entire country.

Named 2001 YB5, the space rock was discovered in early December by the Neat (Near Earth Asteroid Tracking) survey telescope observing from Mount Palomar in California, US.

Astronomers call it an Apollo object because it has a highly elliptical orbit that crosses the orbits of Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury. It circles the Sun every 1,321 days.

I think when this comet strikes the sun it will wipe out all the dinosaurs that live there, no?
