Comet 17P/Holmes is one of the strangest things ever to explode in the night sky. It's a comet, yet it looks like a planet with a golden core and a green atmosphere. It grows visibly from night to night and no one knows how large it will become. [What the blazes?]

Kent, Well, my dear Watson (sorry), here is a string that has started at the Thunderbolts (electric universe) Forum concerning Comet Holmes. Too bad SWAN data is not kept current anymore. Might keep an eye there in case the lads sober up. Has anyone put Hubble or one of the big scopes on the comet? |

And that's just for starters. The growing comet subtends an angle (4 arcminutes) as large as the Moon's Sea of Tranquillity. Last night in Higham Ferrers, England, Dave Eagle photographed "the Moon and Comet Holmes with the same setup to show how big this strange comet is." |
Dramatic Comet Outburst Could Last Weeks Naked-eye comet continues to shine

The comet will not be moving out of Perseus for awhile .. I just fast forwarded and it is going to stay in Perseus spiraling around for a bit. In fact in January it will pass right over ALGOL and very near the supernova ... it moves out of Perseus in March ... hope that helps.
| A New Light In Our Sky? And in an article from Yahoo News, Brian Marsden, director emeritus of the Minor Planet Center, which tracks known comets and asteroids, has stated, "This is a terrific outburst. And since it doesn't have a tail right now, some observers have confused it with a nova. We've had at least two reports of a new star." And comet expert John Bortle has said that the head of the comet could continue to grow in size and may possibly reach the apparent size of the moon in our sky. UPDATE: Comet 17P/Holmes has been relentlessly expanding since its explosion on Oct 23rd and now it spans an angle in the sky almost half as wide as the full Moon. The comet's physical diameter is thus seven times wider than the planet Jupiter--and it is still expanding. Comments | |
| AHEM, What about this? Huh? Huh? The brightest star explosion ever seen has been spotted about 240 million light-years away in the constellation Perseus. The distant event remained brighter than an ordinary supernova for more than 200 days, likely represents a new and extremely rare type of star death that occurs only in supermassive stars. The finding has ramifications for Eta Carinae, the most massive star in our galaxy, which lies just 7,400 light years away. This star, estimated to be 100 to 120 times the sun's mass, has been experiencing preliminary eruptions that could mean it will explode in a manner similar to SN 2006gy. If such a supernova occurred in our galaxy, "it would be so bright that you could see it [from Earth] during the day and you could even read a book by its light at night." | |
| REPLY 11/1/2007 9:37 am I saw i with my own eyes .. it is definantly a comet in outburst .. the nucleus was very distinct in the comet .. there is no doubt that is comet holmes in outburst .. alot of periodic comets do not form tails even in outburst .. consider comet schwassmann-wachmann 1 that is always outburst .. it never really develops a tail even when in outburst .. comet holmes is EXACTLY where it is predicted to be in orbit and it is in megaoutburst .. this is not the first time comet holmes went into megaoutburst. here is a starmap featuring the brightest supernova ever recorded along side the brightest outburst of a comet ever recorded |

Hi Kent, The US Airforce back in the early 60s detonated a nuclear payload in the Van Allen Belts. This will cause the prophecy of the atmosphere collapsing to come to pass within our lifetime. ``And when he had opened the 6th Seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black, and the moon became blood red, and the sky was split apart....`` This Kent, is the REAL cause of so called global warming, whereby the radiation field touches down in the polar areas. Since this field captures incoming deadly radiation, it has the effect of warming the areas where the belts touch down - namely melting of the polar ice sheets. More |

'USAF struck Syrian nuclear site' Extremely disturbing report in the Jerusalem Post to the effect that the strike on the Syrian nuclear facility was carried out jointly by US and Israeli jets, with two of the US jets carrying tactical nuclear weapons, one of which was used against the facility, totally destroying it. The Syrians were in a difficult p.r. position, since they steadfastly denied the facility's existence; hence, when it was destroyed, they were in no position to complain of it. But that is really beside the point, which is that for the first time since Nagasaki, a nuclear bomb was dropped in war, and we did it in a sneak attack against country with which we are not (or, at least, were not) at war. Bush and Cheney are truly insane. They should be dealt with as the mad dogs that they are. Did Syria try to deploy some kind of "exotic", new weaponry system?

11/01/07 "Washington Post" -- -- In a series of internal musings and memos to his staff, then-Defense Secretary Donald H.

LATEST MADNESS IN THE LAND OF ZOG
House Passes Thought Crime Prevention Bill Anyone who thinks this bill is not a giant leap towards the abyss of fascism and Orwell's 1984 simply isn't paying attention. Check out the definition of violent radicalization in the bill. Anyone who calls for the impeachment, prosecution and execution of Bush and Cheney for treason and murder could conceivably be prosecuted under this bill. This is a gross affront to constitutional, republican government, akin to the discredited Alien and Sedition Acts passed by a Federalist Congress and signed into law by a vengeful John Adams. Now, here we are again. Comments |

Feds arrest former DHB chief The former head of the Long Island company that provided most of the body armor for U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan was arrested at dawn Thursday in his Manhattan apartment by FBI and IRS agents on charges of fraudulently looting the company and investors to pay for a lavish lifestyle. That lifestyle included supporting a stable of trotting horses; a face-lift for his wife; a diamond, ruby and sapphire-encrusted belt buckle in the shape of an U.S. flag; and an $8 million bat mitzvah for his daughter, which featured music stars including 50 Cent and Kenny G, according to Benton Campbell, the U.S. attorney for the eastern district. David Brooks, 53, the founder and former head of DHB Industries, which had been located in Westbury, was the highest-paid head of a public company on Long Island in 2004, making $2.7 million in salary and bonuses, plus tens of millions of dollars in stock options. |

Attached is the full transcript of the alleged Reagan UFO briefing, the second that he received since becoming President. The first was somewhat more truncated and occured within the first few weeks of his presidency. The implication of this transcript, if it genuine (a very large "if"), is that there were follow-on briefings to cover the rest of the basic material that his advisors wished to convey to him and to answer specific questions raised by the President in the Camp David briefing. Also, note that it is stated that Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford were fully briefed, which is dubious. Likewise, it is stated that President Jimmy Carter was not fully briefed, which is extremely doubtful.
