Look up in the sky, Thursday or Friday

This comet may be visible in the daytime.

Kool, if there are no clouds, supposed to rain here (need much)

Here she comes! Sounds like sunset tomorrow it can be seen, if you block out the sun.

Might be an impact?
Anyone look up at the left side of the sun?

'Phew!'? Much different MSM tone than with comets 'grazing' earth at over 100,000km last month. Seems AP is more concerned about comets hitting the sun than the earth.

Phew! Comet has a brush with fiery death

Dec 16 2011 The Associated Press

WASHINGTON—A small comet survived what astronomers figured would be a sure death when it danced uncomfortably close to the ['sun's corona].

Comet Lovejoy, which was only discovered a couple of weeks ago, was supposed to melt Thursday night when it came close to where temperatures hit several million degrees. Astronomers had tracked 2,000 other sun-grazing comets make the same suicidal trip. None had ever survived.

But astronomers watching live with NASA telescopes first saw the sun's corona wiggle as Lovejoy went close to the sun. They were then shocked when a bright spot emerged on the sun's other side. Lovejoy lived.

"I was delighted when I saw it go into the sun and I was astounded when I saw something re-emerge," said U.S. Navy solar researcher Karl Battams.

Lovejoy didn't exactly come out of its hellish adventure unscathed. Only 10 per cent of the comet — which was probably millions of tons — survived the encounter, said W. Dean Pesnell, project scientist for NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which tracked Lovejoy's death-defying plunge.

And the comet lost something pretty important: its tail.

"It looks like the tail broke off and is stuck" in the sun's magnetic field, Pesnell said.

Comets circle the sun and sometimes get too close. Lovejoy came within 121,000 kilometres of the sun's surface, Battams said... [childish ice cube and barbecue denial follows]

Lovejoy Lives!!!!!

Pretty amazing anything could get that close to the sun and survive.

That has to be one hard rock now...like a diamond in the sky.

Great shots. And Yes. And while going that fast too.

Imagine being a planet in that bright tail that seemed almost as wide as the sun.
That could make the hair on the back of one's neck stand up.

Speaking in general about MSM coverage; Sad seeing the snowball comet mainstream authority meme being the only one the majority can think of when trying to understand and explain. One can see some movement to realize the now measured reality of pound for pound, 10 to the power of 37 times stronger Electromagnetic forces com into play (not just temperature and gravity explanations for everything). The tendency is to attach the new information to the old theory by attempting to translate things into a gravity mindset.
And the tendency is also continuing to avoid and reject ANY mention (other than derisive denial) of what is dismissed as previously rejected theory that actually is grounded in all forces.

By the end of the video I was laughing about all this. The 'frozen snowball' from the '2 million degrees hot' corona also 'frozen' in the magnetic field lines. Even a kid can see this is a strange (insane) theory. Ironically, the insanity probably keeps the teachers teaching too. Its as if the whole middle class scientific establishment (or what is broadcasted of it) is becoming a meme unto itself as it drifts away from truth and reality towards corruption and vice.

Same as it ever was I guess.

And those dumbed out fake reality TV science shows? More than not so good science, tortureous brain cracking smack. The IQ 75 guy who also does not care to learn can watch these and continue to feel smart enough to not bother learning anything.

It really was a spectacular event!
I was always under the belief that anything will burn if given enough heat...is it possible the sun is not as hot as they say/think it is?

[Dogman]

Think the comet was cold and large enough, and also moving fast enough, that the sun did not totally fry it. Sort of the way water dances on a hot frying pan.

COMET LOVEJOY IN THE MORNING: Noted astronomer John Bortle urges observers (especially in the southern hemisphere) to "begin searching for Comet Lovejoy's bright tail projecting up out of the morning twilight beginning at dawn. The tails of some of the major sungrazing comets have been extraordinarily bright. Comet Lovejoy's apparition has been so bizarre up to this point that it is difficult to anticipate just what might happen next ... [including] the exact sort of tail it might unfurl in the morning sky."

This just in! The ghostly tail of Comet Lovejoy was sighted this morning, Dec. 20th, shining through the twilight glow of dawn over Australia. Peter Sayers sends this picture from Devonport, Tasmania:



"I was surprised to be able to see Comet Lovejoy in our Tasmanian summer early morning twilight with the waning Moon," says Sayers. "The comet's tail was just barely naked eye and perhaps a degree long."

The visibility of the tail could improve in the days ahead as the comet moves away from the sun and the background sky darkens accordingly. Early rising sky watchers should be alert for this rare apparition. [finder chart]
