– February 20, 2011

“Comets could pose a serious threat”-Interview with the Russian astronomer who discovered the comet in the past 20 yearsComet Elenin (C/2010 X1) made its debut on December 10th when Leonid Elenin, an observer in Lyubertsy, Russia, remotely acquired four 4-minute-long images using an 18-inch (45-cm) telescope at the ISON-NM observatory near Mayhill, New Mexico. Follow-up images by Aleksei Sergeyev and Artyom Novichonok at Maidanak Observatory in Uzbekistan revealed more about the new find: a teardrop-shaped, very diffuse coma just 6 arcseconds across and a tiny tail.

What’s gotten hearts beating a little faster since the discovery is that Comet Elenin is still more than 4 astronomical units (375 million miles) from the Sun and headed inbound. It’s still early, and the orbit is certain to change in the weeks ahead, but right now it appears the comet’s perihelion will occur well inside Earth’s orbit, about 0.45 a.u. (42 million miles) from the Sun, on September 5th.

Right now, odds are that Comet Elenin will become an easy target for binoculars around mid-August and reach naked-eye visibility for a couple of weeks around perihelion. The comet’s elongation from the Sun shrinks to just 1° following perihelion, but soon thereafter the comet gets enough separate to position itself nicely for viewing in the predawn sky.

The tail will be pointing directly at Earth on 27-Sep-2011 (or it looks as though it will). The question is “How long will the tail be and will it reach Earth at this time?”. On that day the Earth will be “.381″ AU’s away from the comet (approx. 30-35,000,000 miles). No matter how you look at it, the Earth will pass through the tail’s debris (in one way or another) on that day or there after as the comet moves in front of Earth.

Worried About Comet Elenin? FAQs from Ian Musgrave

by Nancy Atkinson on July 20, 2011

Astronomer and blogger Ian Musgrave from South Australia has been active in debunking the misinformation and nonsense that is being disseminated about Comet Elenin. He has written several wonderful posts featuring the actual realities of this long-period lump of dirty ice that has, for some reason, attracted the attention of doomsdayers, 2012ers, and end-of-the-world scaremongers. Earlier this week, Ian’s Elenin posts on his Astroblog were taken down by the web host, as someone filed a claim for alleged violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). “Given that there is no copyrighted material on these pages, with either material generated entirely by me or links to and citation of publicly available material, I believe this was just a frivolous attack on people countering Elenin nonsense” Ian said. Astroblog was not the only site that was targeted, and thankfully, Ian’s web host agreed that the claim was without merit, and the posts are back online. In the interim, however, Universe Today offered to publish Ian’s excellent “Comet Elenin, a FAQ for the Worried” post, and even though the original is now available again, Ian and I decided to still post this on UT so that more people with questions about Comet Elenin would have the chance to have their worries allayed. Have your questions answered below.

Will Comet Elenin Hit Earth?: No, its closest approach is 0.23 AU on Oct 16, 2011, where 1 AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun. To put this in perspective, this is only a little closer than the closest approach of Venus to Earth, and roughly 100 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. This distance is from the latest MPEC ephemeris which is based on over 100 observations from multiple observatories that have been continuously tracking the comet, so it won’t change appreciably.

Surely if Elenin Was Going to Hit the Earth NASA/the Government Would Hush it Up? Which government? The Australian Government, the UK Government? The Italian Government? The South African Government? Amateur astronomers world wide are following this comet and continually talking to each other. The have the programs to work out where the comet is going. If the comet was coming anywhere near us, the amateur community would be first to know, and there is no keeping them quite. Consider how wide spread the information is about Apophis, which is a real, if extremely marginal, hazard.

Will it Cause Earthquakes, Abnormally High Tides or Other Disasters: No, Elenin is a mere 3-5 kilometres across and has less than a billionth of the tidal force of the Moon at closest approach (as well as a negligible magnetic field). If the Moon can’t cause the poles to tip, cause massive tidal floods or earthquakes, Comet 2010 X1 Elenin won’t. We’ve been closer to other comets before with no ill effect.

But What About Mensur Omerbashich’s Paper that Says Elenin is Causing Earthquakes? It shows nothing of the sort, earthquakes are no more common during comet alignments than at any other time.

But it’s bigger than Jupiter! No, that’s the coma , the thin haze of gas and dust that surrounds the comet nucleus. The nucleus of C/2010 X1 Elenin is roughly 3-4 Km in diameter and Elenin has a coma around 50,000 km wide at the time of writing (which is a third of the diameter of Jupiter). The average density of the coma is about the same as the density of the atmosphere on the Moon. A coma is a feature of all comets that approach the Sun closely, for example comet 81P Wild (nucleus 4 Km diameter) had a coma of 50,000 Km and 103P Hartley had a coma of 150,000 Km. The Great Comet of 1811 had a nucleus of around 30km in diameter and had a coma nearly as big as the Sun. Comet Halley is 6×15 km and had a coma 100,000 km wide when it last approached Earth. We survived them all (and 103P Hartley came nearly twice as close as Elenin will), and we will survive Elenin without incident.

But I Can See a Picture of it in WikiSky, it’s HUGE! That is the carbon star CW Leonis.

Is Elenin a Moon of a Brown Dwarf Star? No.

But Brown Dwarf Stars are so Cold, you Can’t See Them. No, coldest detected so far is ~370K (about the temperature of a hot cup of tea), the the warmest are around 2200 K, and most range between 500-1000 K. They may not produce much visible light, but they reflect light. Jupiter has a composition similar to those of Drown Dwarf stars. Jupiter’s cloud tops are a chilly 128 K and it reflects light just fine. Any Brown Dwarf in the inner solar system would be painfully obvious.

Will Going Through the Comets Tail Affect Us? No, should the rather small tail of Elenin actually pass over us, it’s doing a pretty good imitation of a vacuum (about 100 atoms per cm3). We have been through bigger and denser comet tails before with no effect whatsoever (especially the Great Comet of 1861).

Why isn’t Comet Elenin in the News? For the same reason that the other 16 comets discovered in 2010 didn’t get in the news, or the 5 comets discovered in 2011. They are all dim. The News is only interested in comets that are spectacular, readily visible to the unaided eye or are being visited by spacecraft. Comet 2009 P1 will be as bright, if not brighter than C/2010 X1 Elenin, but that’s not in the news either. Amateur and professional astronomers are watching comet Elenin and others avidly, but the news channels don’t care about our obsessions with faint fuzzies.

Why Can’t I Find Information of Elenin at the NASA Website? Because NASA is not the arbiter of all things astronomical. You won’t find information on C/2009 P1, C/2011 C1 or any of the faint comets discovered during 2010 and 2011. NASA does have information of comets that its spacecraft have visited, or are interesting in some other way, but it’s not an exhaustive comet site like Cometography or Aerith.

(editor’s note, NASA and JPL’s Near Earth Object Office did publish an article about Comet Elenin in May, 2011, which can be found at this link, confirming it will safely fly past Earth.)

I Saw Comet Elenin Near the Sun in August 2010/Now: In August 2010 only really powerful telescopes could see Elenin. You saw Venus. If you are seeing something bright near the Sun in the morning sky now, it’s Venus.

How Can I Tell What IS in the Sky and Avoid The Venus Confusion? For freeware standalone programs there is Cartes du Ciel and Stellarium (my favourite). For Web based solutions Skyview Cafe, Sky-Map and GoogleEarth (KMZ file here) all work.

Where Can I Find Orbital Elements for Celestia or Stellarium? Here.

Where Can I Find Images of Elenin? Here, and here and a nice image of C/2010 X1 near to NGC 3376 is here.

I have Photographed/ Seen a Photograph of a Double Sun, is this Elenin? It’s lens flare.

Tornado Ravages Joplin-Missouri

May 23, 2011

At least 116 people died in a massive tornado that left a path of destruction nearly a mile wide through the heart of Joplin, Missouri, on Sunday. The cyclone destroyed hundreds of homes and vehicles, as well as a high school and a hospital. Rescue teams have been working hard to find and assist as many people as possible, even as another storm system passes through region today. Tens of thousands are now living without power around this small city, where an estimated 30 percent of the structures were flattened or damaged by the massive storm. Collected here are some images of the aftermath in Joplin as residents and rescue workers survey what remains. [38 photos]

US storms: 128 dead in major Alabama tornado

Friday 29 April 2011

At least 128 people died in Alabama when a major storm unleashed tornadoes and flash floods on the southeastern US state, according to officials.

“The Alabama Emergency Management Agency has confirmed 128 fatalities in Alabama from the tornadoes and severe weather yesterday,” the agency said in a statement that listed those killed by county.

The latest announcement brings the total death toll from the massive storm – which unleashed dozens of tornadoes that flattened buildings and overturned vehicles – to 162 people, according to reports from several states.

The mile-wide tornado has ripped through the town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, decimating homes and businesses.

Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama declared a state of emergency after 25 were killed by storms on Wednesday alone. That was before the tornado hit Tuscaloosa, where 100 were said to have been injured. Another 11 people were killed in Mississippi, two in Georgia and one in Tennessee.

President Barack Obama later announced a state of emergency in Alabama, freeing up federal agencies to lend assistance.

Widespread destruction from Japan earthquake, tsunamis

By the CNN Wire Staff

March 11, 2011 — Updated 1916 GMT (0316 HKT)

 

Editor’s Note: Read live blogging of the Japan tsunami and earthquake. Are you there? Send your video, pictures to iReport. For more news visit CNN affiliates KHON and KHNL.

Tokyo (CNN) — The most powerful earthquake to hit Japan in recorded history struck off the island nation’s shore on Friday, collapsing buildings, touching off widespread fires and unleashing walls of water up to 30 feet high.

The waves swept across rice fields, engulfed towns, dragged houses onto highways, and tossed cars and boats like toys. It reaching as far as about six miles (10 kilometers) inland in Miyagi Prefecture on Japan’s east coast.

Hundreds of people were dead and hundreds more missing, Japanese media reported, citing local and national police. Tens of thousands of people were displaced, according to Japan’s Kyodo News agency.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the “enormously powerful” earthquake had caused “tremendous damage over a wide area.”

The 8.9-magnitude quake prompted the U.S. National Weather Service to issue tsunami warnings for at least 50 countries and territories, although initial reports as the waves reached locations outside of Japan indicated no damage.

But Japanese government officials said large tsunami waves are still a risk to coastal Japan, and urged residents in coastal areas to move to higher ground.

The epicenter was offshore of Miyagi Prefecture, about 230 miles (370 kilometers) from Tokyo, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Residents there continued to feel aftershocks hours after the quake. More than 30 aftershocks followed, with the strongest measuring 7.1.

Japanese broadcasters reported collapsed buildings, power outages and transportation disruptions throughout Japan. In Tokyo, 230 miles from the hardest hit areas, rail service was suspended, elevated highways were shut down early Saturday and surface streets remained jammed as commuters continued trying to get to their homes in outlying areas.

Video aired by Japanese broadcaster NHK showed extensive fires in Miyagi and widespread fires in the port city of Hakodate, in the southern part of Hokkaido island in northern Japan. An oil refinery was burning in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo, according to NHK, and firefighters could not get close enough to fight it because of the heat. And Kyodo News said fires could be seen in extensive areas of Kesennuma in Miyagi Prefecture.

Also in Miyagi, officials reported that a train had derailed and authorities had lost contact with another train, Kyodo reported.

And a dam in Fukushima Prefecture failed, washing away homes, Kyodo reported. There was no immediate word of casualties, but the Defense Ministry said 1,800 homes were destroyed.

Japan’s trade minister, Banri Kaieda, said a small radiation leak could occur at the Fukushima nuclear plant, Japan’s Kyodo News Agency reported Saturday.

Prime Minister Kan is planning to inspect the plant, according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano.

The government had ordered the evacuation of residents nearest the plant as efforts to keep it cool after it was shut down were initially hampered.

The official death toll stood at 151, with 539 injured and 351 missing, according to Kyodo, citing police, but that death toll seemed almost certain to rise — from 200 to 300 bodies have been found in the coastal city of Sendai alone, said NHK, citing police who said the victims may have been struck by a massive tsunami.

Kyodo said the death toll is likely to surpass 1,000.

The news agency, citing Japan’s defense forces, also said 60,000 to 70,000 people were being evacuated to shelters in the Sendai area of Miyagi Prefecture.

A strong earthquake shook New Zealand on Tuesday afternoon, according to reports.

The 6.3-magnitude quake, per the USGS, shook New Zealand’s South Island and its largest city of Christchurch at 12:50 p.m. local time.

Scroll Down For Live Updates

The New Zealand Herald reported that the quake’s epicenter was Lyttelton with a depth of 5 kilometers, though it was felt as far away as Wellington and Dunedin per Twitter reports. It shook the Canterbury region, which has a population of approximately 500,000. Radio New Zealand reports “that some people have been killed.”

Radio New Zealand also noted some of the damage from the quake in Christchurch: a church collapsed, a bridge is impassible, the airport has been shut down and the mayor is urging people not to drive due to road damage.

HuffPost reader Laura Campbell submitted these photos of the damage in Christchurch. A local New Zealand media outlet posted this photo of damage to Chirstchurch’s historic Christchurch Cathedral.

Videos of the quake are beginning to surface on YouTube. One video (watch below) shows shaking, presumably an aftershock, and fallen rocks among the damage outside Christchurch.

Kepler-11 System With 6 Planets

 

03.02.11: Kepler Hits Paydirt.

February 3, 2011 by David Dickinson  
Filed under Astro News, Astro News & Commentary, Weekly Astro-events

The Brave New Worlds of Kepler-11…  (Credit: NASA/Tim Pyle).

The number of potential exoplanets has more than doubled… in one press release! Wednesday at 1PM EST, NASA researchers have revealed the latest findings from the Kepler spacecraft. And what a mother lode… Today’s Kepler announcement jumps the number of exoplanet candidates to over 1,200. Keep in mind, that’s potential exoworlds needing confirmation. The results were based on 4 months of observation. Launched in 2009, the Kepler mission stares in the direction of the constellation Cygnus looking for a tiny dimming as a hidden world passes in from of a star as seen from the vantage point of Kepler. Remember, the dips that Kepler is measuring are tiny; in the order of 0.01 magnitudes of brightness or smaller. The fact that Kepler is staring off into Cygnus is not by chance… the region is along the galactic plane and very star rich.

A quick snapshot of the “Kepler 1200″ planet candidates breaks down as follows= 68 Earth-sized, 288 “super Earths,” 662 Neptune-sized, & 165-Jupiter-size worlds. Keep in mind the term “Earth-like world” is still pretty general in terms of exoplanets…at a distance, Venus would appear Earth-like. Not the kind of destination you would be inclined to dispatch a multi-generational space ark to! Kepler is also seeing smaller candidates in more leisurely orbits, a sign that detection ability is getting more refined over time. Yale astronomer Debra Fisher stated in the conference Wednesday that, “The detection of large planets is always going to be easier than the small guys.” What’s interesting is that the Kepler discovery of potential multiple systems will finally allow us to characterize and perhaps classify various solar systems. The Kepler discoveries may even go a long way towards telling us how rare/common our own solar system is: the vaulted f_p in the Drake Equation. Fischer’s primary specialty is detection of planets via the other preferred method of radial velocity. During the interview, Fischer stated that radial velocity techniques would have to refine their sensitivity to within 10 centimeters per second to confirm an Earth-sized world in the Kepler data. Fischer also made mention of Galaxy Zoo and their new exoplanet search program; yay, citizen science! (Did you know-students have discovered exoplanets in the past while learning to construct search algorithms!)

Kepler scientists also announced a fresh confirmed discovery-a system with the most transiting exoplanets yet detected clustered within an equivalent radius of the orbit of Venus. Kepler-11 is a star system 2,000 light years distant consisting of a sun like star with six transiting worlds: the animation is fairly mind-blowing! Earlier this year: Kepler’s 1^st rocky planet Kepler-10b, and the hits just keep on coming.

Kepler only grabs a tiny slice of the sky on a short mission- imagine if the proposed Terrestrial Planet Finder series could ever get off the ground? The possibility could exist that we could have spectral signatures hinting at life processes on distant worlds in our lifetime. In any event, its definitely “raining exo-worlds” as we eventually knew it would… astro-bloggers are gonna be busy! I can hear the keys clattering…

CHEMTRAILS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Chemtrails – Frequently
Asked Questions
By Toni Thayer – blueskiesintl@hubwest.com

 

Executive Director, Blue Skies International

10-14-00

What’s the difference between a jet contrail and a chemtrail? According to the U.S. Air Force, jet contrails form above 33,000 feet when hot engine exhaust momentarily condenses ice crystals into pencil-thin vapor trails that quickly vanish like the wake behind a boat. Chemtrails (CTs) look like contrails initially, but are much thicker, extend across the sky and are often laid down in varying patterns of Xs, tick-tack-toe grids, cross-hatched and parallel lines. Instead of quickly dissipating, chemtrails expand and drip feathers and mare s tails. In 30 minutes or less, they open into wispy formations which join together, forming a thin white veil or a “fake cirrus-type cloud” that persists for hours. In August 2000, chemtrail watchers began to report “more normal” appearing or nearly invisible jet sprays. However, these reports go on to include cloud formations dripping the feathers and mare s tails just as the chemtrails do. It s our belief that the operation has adjusted the chemtrail mix as word about the phenomenon is spreading and as more and more people are looking up. Observant chemtrail watchers continue to see the “fake cirrus-type clouds” on top of and surrounding real cumulus clouds. Who is doing the spraying? Witnesses have documented and photographed military KC-135s and KC-10s and white, unmarked jets. Airport personnel and pilots have also confirmed specific commercial airliners to be leaving the long lasting chemtrails. What’s in the chemtrails, and why are they spraying us? We wish we knew. There are only a few planes in the world that have the equipment to analyze the spray mix and can get to the CT altitudes, clearance must be obtained to fly into the trails and money must be raised for the $22,000 per day plane rental fee. There may be several programs working at the same time. Possibilities include atmospheric and weather modification and biowarfare. Many theorize that it s part of a clandestine operation to implement the New World Order (NWO) by eliminating society s “useless eaters” and the infirm and/or to reduce the population to a support level for the “elite”. Originally, it was thought to be mass inoculation for possible biowarfare attack; this theory has been ruled out with the increase of sicknesses and illnesses in the CT paths. Edward Teller’s (inventor of the hydrogen bomb) proposal to reduce global warming to the U.S. involves spraying minute aluminum particles to deflect the sun s harmful ultraviolet rays but still allow the Earth s heat to rise through them. This seems to be supported by rainwater tests after heavy spraying in Espanola, Canada which contained 7 times the allowable limit of aluminum. In this instance, the areas with the least ultraviolet protection, as in the Southwest, would be the heaviest sprayed. Most often, this does not seem to be the case. Generally, spraying increases as clouds build. Chemtrails may be the reason that over half the world and over half the U.S. have been experiencing drought for the past 2 years. Witnesses have reported watching chemtrails fall through cumulus clouds, leaving the real clouds “skinny” and within a few minutes totally gone. Typically, storm clouds build and mix with the chem ingredients, resulting in a grey, uniform “mucky” sky which doesn t rain. The real clouds disappear, leaving behind the chem formations which were on top of the storm system. Another possibility is barium salt mixtures. The Variable Terrain Radio Parabolic Equation (VTRPE) shows pilots what nearby radar systems can and cannot see under different terrain and atmospheric conditions. It was tested and perfected after aerosol barium titanate salt mixture was released from military aircraft, forming chemical trails in the atmosphere across America. Barium salts were also used in Libya, Panama and Desert Storm where they were sprayed and exploded overhead to make the people extremely sick and weak. It s a radioactive material that accelerates and magnifies the effects of other mix ingredients by altering the chemical structure of the other agents. A spectrum analysis reveals only the barium compounds and hides the “bad stuff” by placing a shell around it. After time, it releases the other agent. Think of it as a time release death pill. What do the governments say about Chemtrails? No governmental agency of any country will confirm that spraying activity is occurring. Most often requests are ignored. The U.S. Air Force has explained that they routinely dump fuel over populated areas to reduce weight prior to landings. More recently, the Environmental Protection Agency states that it may be pesticide spraying. Generally, officials explain it away as increased commercial jet traffic. However, this does not explain why areas with no commercial flight paths overhead are also seeing these long lasting plumes. Some citizens have been told by government “to keep it quiet”. Why would our government authorize such a program when they live here too? Money talks and corporate dollars influence our legislators and officials. In 1997, the year of disasters, insurance companies paid $92 billion in weather disaster-related claims. Teller stated that his weather modification program would cost only $1 billion per year. Research into a NWO takeover reveals a heavily funded and incredibly powerful elite group of individuals that most are afraid or unwillingly to go up against. We also know that informed citizens can take precautions to offset the effects of CT spraying by limiting time outdoors on spray days and by building their immune systems with vitamins, herbs, Colloidal Silver and other therapies. Why do you think the cirrus clouds in the sky aren’t real? Cirrus clouds are high altitude clouds, formed above 20,000 feet and consist of ice crystals. They precede a storm or are in the jet stream. Cumulus clouds are formed in lower altitudes, 6,500 to 20,000 feet. These 2 cloud formations are seen together at the lower altitudes of 9,000 to 15,000 feet in extreme drought conditions. This goes against the laws of nature. Also significant is the “white ground haze” that can be seen from horizon to horizon with clear blue sky overhead. How long has this spraying been occurring? Cloud books confirm that tests have been conducted since the 1960s. Old photographs show sporadic CTs dating to the early 1970s with the activity steadily increasing throughout the 1980s. Since 1998, citizens throughout the world have documented spray patterns on a nearly daily basis, with an average of 1 “clear” day per week. We have all become accustomed to these changes as they ve been introduced bit by bit and have presumed them to be normal. Younger generations have never seen normal weather and clouds. Do they spray us here? They have been spraying most areas intensely in the U.S., Canada, Europe and England since 1998, including areas with no commercial flight paths overhead. Recently, Australia, Mexico, South Africa, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Croatia have reported chemtrail spraying. Why should we be so concerned about Chemtrails? A “flu-like” epidemic is on the rise which the Centers for Disease Control says may be due to some “unknown pathogen”. From their May 6, 2000 Influenza Summary Update, 11 out of every 100 newly dead people have died from this “Influenza-Like Illness”, but 99% of sick patients have tested negative for the flu. The most prevalent symptoms reported by witnesses in the wake of these white plumes are: Persistent hacking coughs, upper respiratory and intestinal distress, pneumonia, extreme fatigue, lethargy, dizziness, disorientation, splitting headaches, aching joints and muscles, nosebleeds, diarrhea, bloody stools, depression, anxiety, loss of bladder control and nervous tics. The elderly, young and those weakened by disease or in poor physical condition are the first to feel the CT effects. Why should I join Blue Skies International? Chemtrails is a program that affects the world, its climate, its citizens, and our children s heritage. The spray program is blatantly right before our eyes. Blue Skies, a newly-formed, concerted citizens effort, is seeking Answers, Action and Accountability from our governmental leaders. The more members we have, the more clout we have. All donations and membership fees go towards informing the world s residents and continuing research. As a “public” charity, Blue Skies depends upon public funding to provide our services: Educational packets, web page, speakers, news articles, research and governmental communications.
