Beetlejuice Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 On several nights I have been trying to see the Comet Ison, but without success. The story is:Astronomers anxiously wait to see if Comet Ison can survive its encounter with the Sun and brighten into a spectacular feature on the sky.Is there anyone with astronomical knowledge on here, who can tell us when is the best times to look and where a bouts in the Thai night sky?Details:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25129711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackflash Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 For a week or so it was visible each morning just before the sun rose. Not easy to see however, it needed a pair of binoculars and knowing exactly where to look. The latest news is that it broke up while behind the sun and didn't re-appear. Apparently not even dust made it out the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 ...I would check other sources if I was you... ...NASA has been hiding something from the onset....up to shutting down...or providing poor photos or misinformation... ...the clip cuts off with no proof of disintegration...

Mrvalentino Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 RE: Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) I have been watching this with a keen interest. I checked the SOHO images from NASA and it shows clearly the comet decreased in brightness as it made its turn around the Sun, but there is still some of it still continuing its journey. You can see the updated images here: http://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/comet-ison"Here is the latest fully processed image of SOHO/LASCO C2. We can clearly see that only a very faint streak remains of what used to be comet ISON. There is nothing left of the bright comet that had this gorgeous long tail that we saw before perihelion." It's really too soon to say if the Comet has completely broken up based on the images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if some of the comet has survived I don`t think it will visible in the night sky with the naked eye or with binoculars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sold, just like the comet. the NASA chaps stole it in 1970 or so, and replaced it with a big dinner plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or watch the film Oblivion with Tom Cruise. Aliens destroyed the moon and the Earth was trashed in the fight to beat the Aliens. I don't mind giving this spoiler, it is an absolute pile of crap and not worth watching. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Media was pretty quick to condemn ISON, but the cool thing is that something made it. One good hypothesis is that it is in two pieces now surrounded by debris, which is pretty interesting. Whether it will be visible to the naked eye in a few weeks still remains a mystery, but this comet has been full of surprises. No worries to earth as the trajectories of anything are far removed from our path. http://vimeo.com/80568171# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
