ISON VIDEO: ISON WARNING Disintergration Event

Finally, it's being said...wait 'till it comes around the bend.

If ISON is really that large and it breaks up just imagine the chunks it would likely blow into our earth orbit on it's return trip from around the sun. We can only pray that the entire mess, comet and tail trail will be sucked into the sun as it get closer to the solar surface.

In my honest opinion a lot more is made of this thing than is good for it!

interesting...check out the picture of ancients

Importance in the scientific history of luminiferous aether
Comet Encke (and Biela's Comet) had a role in scientific history in the generally discredited concept of luminiferous aether. As its orbit was perturbed and shortened, the shortening could only be ascribed to the drag of an "ether" through which it orbited in outer space. One reference, [1], reads:
Encke's comet is found to lose about two days in each successive period of 1200 days. Biela's comet, with twice that length of period, loses about one day. That is, the successive returns of these bodies is found to be accelerated by this amount. No other cause for this irregularity has been found but the agency of the supposed ether.
===================
anyone else see this stuff related to these comets? Encke (similar to ENKI), ISON ( I Son), Lovejoy (Love & Joy).

look at the order too as well as dates @ perihilion..
Encke=Next perihelion 21 Nov.. ISON=Thanks Giving (28 Nov) , Lovejoy=Christmas (21 Dec Lovejoy)

perturbed by inner planets.

this means in the past they lined up either closer or farther away.. similar to gear set with 1 odd tooth.
but remember that all these things always come back to roost at planet Earth... which I think is the one in ancient history that got hit. Ice in space = ocean water frozen, debri in Kupier belt = parts, and Earth has techtonic plates = cracks from hit and slow healing, the only one in the solar system that has them!

Also 3 comets
3 planets in an alignment with significant 144,000 measurements.

coincidence? no.

signs in the heavens... pay attention.

gotta shut down... lost 1 puter and this IS being assaulted now have fun

Comet Nears Sun, Offering Planetary Clues


NASA

An view of Comet ISON taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in April.



Comet ISON’s close approach — and its possible demise, from the sun’s heat and gravitational forces — will give scientists an unprecedented look at the ingredients that came together to form the planets.
“It’s a dinosaur bone of solar system formation,” said Carey M. Lisse, a senior research scientist at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, during a NASA news conference on Tuesday.
If the comet survives — though many experts like Dr. Lisse think it will not — it could provide a bright and striking addition to the night sky in early December as it zooms near Earth on its way back out. The best times for viewing would be right before sunrise or right after sunset. Currently it is not readily visible because it is too close to the sun.

In recent years, astronomers have spotted many sun-grazing comets, but this one is different. Named for the International Scientific Optical Network in Russia, which discovered it in September 2012, it appears to have originated in the Oort Cloud, a sphere of debris about a light-year from the sun. Most of the earlier sun grazers appear to be pieces from a larger comet that looped around the sun many times.
ISON was probably dislodged a few million years ago by the gravitational nudge of a passing star, sending it on a trajectory to the inner solar system for the first time and quite possibly the last.
“And we’re going to watch it bake and boil,” Dr. Lisse said.

NASA’s fleet of spacecraft, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, have been taking pictures as the comet entered the inner solar system. “This particular comet is of extreme interest to us,” said James L. Green, the director of planetary science at NASA.
Few comets are discovered so far out, and some scientists at first thought ISON was several miles in diameter and would become the “Comet of the Century,” rivaling the brightness of a full moon.
But as the comet passed Mars, the NASA orbiter took pictures showing that it was three-quarters of a mile wide at most, smaller than most comets.
Because ISON was discovered so far away, astronomers had plenty of time to plan their observations. Measurements by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, which takes infrared photographs, showed a large envelope of carbon dioxide around the nucleus. “It is looking like carbon dioxide may be a very fundamental molecule in that early solar system rather than carbon monoxide,” Dr. Lisse said.
As ISON approaches the sun, the motions of its tail reveal the usually invisible movements in the solar wind, the torrent of particles continually ejected by the sun.
In recent days, the comet has behaved erratically, brightening and dimming; that has led to speculation that it has already fallen apart. “We just don’t know if it’s in one piece or not,” said Karl Battams, an astrophysicist at the Naval Research Laboratory.
Even falling apart could be valuable. Dr. Lisse said scientists understood how fine dust particles conglomerated into larger particles the size of BBs and marbles, and they know how comet-size objects can combine into planets. But they have not figured out how the BB- and marble-size objects combine into comets.
“When the BBs and the marbles hit each other, they fall apart,” Dr. Lisse said. By looking at the process in reverse, he went on, scientists can “see how it got put together” in the first place.

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: November 27, 2013
Because of an editing error, an earlier version of a picture caption with this article misstated the direction in which the comet’s tail was pointed.  The tail points away from the sun, not toward it.

If you look to the column on the right there are other interesting videos...actually talks about the comet getting ripped into 4 or whatever pieces. Gotta think that could possibly alter trajectory as well.

Exactly.

The "asteroid with a tail", anyone recall? Are there any assurances it didn't 'dive' into the sun, & went a bit behind it relative the camera? I dunno too much in the subject matter, just thinking out loud. Guessing whatever survived has quite a bit of the hard stuff left in it.

Alright we're calling it, and you heard it here first: We believe some small part of #ISON's nucleus has SURVIVED perihelion.

Interesting, appears to be 'tumbling' for lack of a better term.

Looks like the tail is responding to the change in relation to the sun..so something made it out...

I can say that comet #ISON is still looking very much like a comet -- though rather a dusty one!
