*C/2006 A1 Comet to Swoop Up Between Mercury & Venus
The Big Question:

Will the Sun become highly reactive-- as it did with Comet V1
[link to space.com]
If it does-- will Earth be clear of ANY Coronal Ejection blowby?
(SUN IS SMALL WHITE CIRCLE)

"The object can be seen now in southern hemisphere as a body of 12-13 magnitude brightness. It approaches the Earth and the Sun, to reach the smallest distance from the Sun on Feb. 22. C/2006 A1 is a second comet discovered by Pojamnski project. The first, C/2004 R2 (ASAS) was registered in September 2004."

More as story develops... Not a usual thing to have roaring through the neighborhood... Fascinating spectacle-- no need to get all afraid yet though...

Actual Size + brightness of Body will matter big time...

Will be under us until--

"Towards the end of February C/2006 A1 will be quite close to Venus. The two will be closest on the mornings of February 27 and 28 in New Zealand (UT dates Feb 26 and 27). The separation between the comet and Venus will be about 7.5°, with the comet below and to the right of Venus."

Any projections on how close this comet will pass to the earth?

I was also curious as to the if this coment will pass close enough to Venus as to have the planet effect its trajectory at all.

Using the interactive chart-- one can also plot out and view when we will pass through the potential remnents of the antipode "tail wind sweep" of the comet's wake as "A1"whips around and we enter the space of it's wake on April 23rd exposing us to?

Factoid: the word influenza-- Root:

"Influencia" in Medieval Latin meant more than "influence" -- based on "fluere" ("to flow"), "influencia" was thought to be a fluid or emanation given off by certain stars that governed human affairs. Our modern word "disaster" comes from the same sort of ancient belief in the calamitous influence of evil ("dis") stars ("astra")"

This interactive viewer will allow to to play with the angles and controls for dates and zoom to see and then share your findings...
on Feb 26th I get .812 AU distance to Earth-- or 81% of the 93 million miles to the SUN.

I presume that the approach to Venus is too distant to effect this trajectory?

on the 26th of Feb. Venus looks to be almost directly between Earth and A1 in a connect the dots placement.

From the viewer, it appears that on that date, Venus will be roughly 45% of the distance of A1 to the Earth-- 33.9 million miles.
45% of .812 AU-- (75.51 Million miles)

We just don't know all what to expect-- as Comet V1 rewrote all the rules and proved McCanney and his Electroplasma theories quite correct-- we may see what we saw with V1--

--not a gravitational effect-- but a plasma-electrical one that doesn't have to be visibl--

--kind of like how your finger twitches with carpet-scuff static before it shocks the shit out of it when finally toching the switchplate--

--and then possibly some weather like we haven't been accustomed to seeing?

The V1 trajectory brought it between the Sun and Mercury-- and yet-- the Sun's main response was a surprise massive electrical filiament discharge @ a time when there were no sunspots to speak of-- and no really pronounced visible filiaments. A huge but heretofore hidden string filiament that was somewhat embedded in the Sun's outer layer lept up and discharged out towards the passing comet and surprised everyone (see photo in first click-on link in thread).

V1 was reportedly 9.3 million miles from the Sun in passing.

It is true that we just don't know.

If Nasa leaves the feed up this time and doesn't get into all the image editing shenanigans again, we may be able to discern for ourselves with the basic grasp we have on the workings of solar sytem mechanics, plasma physics, and Velikovsky based Electrocometary science theories.

It is refreshing that we have a little bit of a comparison with V1 and that McCanney-- had more answers on that anomally than all other scientific peers put together.

IMHO, this is quite a spectacle--

--a once in a lifetime event to get to see a Comet like this pass through the inner solar system so close to our neighboring orb Venus.

It illustrates that things of any size and speed could just as easily pass anywhere inside and through Earth's neighborhood.


The Moon surface seems to be quite full of
impact craters of all sizes...

Connect-the-dots...

Comet A1 highly charged plasma body sweeps through discharging local solar capacitor on one side of Venus with Earth on the other. Latest Solar System dust count is up exponentially making for a hair trigger for a plasma dust grain-elevator type electroincindiary discharge.

Vellikovsky designates Venus as originally a comet with an unusually high residual interactive ion capicitive charge--

"The Tail of Venus"

"In mid-1997, the Soho satellite detected a plasma structure issueing from Venus and almost reaching the surface of Earth".

In short-- two comets in the same space and we may get to see Venus glow big time.

You seem to be reaching for conclusions based on theories that have no basis in science or physical possiblity.

In short ..

It is true, that we just don't know. YET

However--
I am one who just doesn't always think according to the currently accepted drivel and do not really give a fig if it grates on the current theories-- yes I said "theories"-- for that is all you have as well-- for science never says it has the exact answer-- but only the current theories-- which could just as easily turn out to be that the "world was flat" almost 400 years ago...

If you do a little looking into the links posted-- you may find the correlating data for which you seek.

In my line of work professionally, I routinely have to solve problems whatever they are-- and sometimes have to think so out of the box and so independently that it results in discovering that the actual factory manual is wrong.

Moral of the story? Don't just automatically assume anything :)

IF the dischrge occurs from sun to comet TO Venus, WHY could Venus not discharge same DOWN it's 'tail', having the resultant overload JUMP the 'gap' to Earth?
End of satallites, microchips, TVs, ETC. People ??????

Let us hope this is not what will happen.

Electrical reaction is a function of charge and distance. Hopefully, the distances are great enough.

Magnitude 12 to 13 is actually 100 to 250 to faint to see with the unaided eye so unless you have a good telescope you won´t see nothing.

Thanks for asking-- We'll have to be Googling "C/2006 A1" as a search term and see what the latest buzz is in the astronomer community-- those are the stats they love to track :)

The magnitude of comets is known to be a little unpredictable & probably gonna be shifting some and will be interesting to
see just how big and bright this one will turn out to be since it is in the neighborhood...

No it didn't. McCanney is an idiot, and his "theories" are complete nonsense. They aren't even well enough put together to be worthy of the word "theory".

Face it - you really have no idea at all what the "astronomer community" (sic) are interseted in, or what information they might be looking at.

You people have no idea at all about the scale of things, what comets can and can't do, or even the basic physical laws that define orbits.
