Bright New Comet Visible NOW!

Wow, Sweet Essan !

I'm so jealous.
Clouds again for me tonight.

Here is the second gallery from Space.com

McNaught Gallery 2

check #3 for a very clear close up
and #6 for it's amazing composition and deep colors

Thks for the comments everyone

Must say I was very lucky - Wednesday was the only day this week we had clear skies at sunset and I deliberately left work early in order to get to a good spot in the hope of seeing the comet. So glad I did!

I hope now it becomes a daytime comet so that everyone can see it when it emerges from around the sun

does anyone know how close the commet will come to the earth. is this the doomsday rock? do the scientists , astronamers know how close this thing will get to the earth. this better not be the doomsday rock.

I was wondering if I might have another chance to catch McNaught , and
thought others might be wondering as well, so I thought I'd pass on what I found.

It looks like the party is over for the Northern Hemisphere.

NASA astronomer Tony Phillips says
Comet McNaught is the brightest comet visible from Earth in 30 ears.
It is six times brighter than Hale-Bopp in 1997,
and 100 times brighter than Halley's Comet when
it appeared in 1986...

news.yahoo.com...

Also,
from astronomer Tony Phillips-

"It will remain a spectacular comet for weeks, perhaps months,
in the Southern Hemisphere," Phillips said.
"It could emerge as the brightest comet in recorded history."

So it's goodbye McNaught ,for us NH'ers.

It'll be a Southerners delight, now.

Mars, Venus and Mercury will all pass closer to earth than Comet McNaught ....

I understand that it is just visible as a naked eye, daylight object in the N Hemisphere:

Naked Eye DAYTIME pictures of McNaught. This weekend was the great flare up for it. Of course - we were socked in with rain and didn't see. But here are pictures for those who missed the DAYTIME naked eye comet -

Thanks Cyrax!

Those are great pics..
Interesting how the comet shows better on your negative images..

Are you going to take more?!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thank you

and thank you Sanctum

Hello CYRAX are those new ones.

I got a comet or flaring Tesla coil video.

www.youtube.com...

long cylindrical lightning column, flat coils do flare,
zoom in at end and see puffy cloud trail, unlike a comet
but like a pulsed coil system
look familiar:

The Belguin Triangle story



Evidence: The Case For NASA UFO's - Part 2 (was the teather or a flare ?)



A comet, a coil flare, a jet in one place, balloon, ha ha ha or
teather in space.

Can a million volt coil excite electrons high up by satellites?
Even 12 miles long, I think so.
And remember all the times ufos get stuck and rescue ships come
and stand by to pick up the pieces.

Hey but nice comet pics you got there.

This is very beautiful I love comets.

thanks telsa for the clips they are pretty much the same thing as in the photos

Getting to see a great view here in Costa Rica. I will post some pics if any of them are good.

Yes its getting quite noticable, I mean comets don't come around that
often but more pictures are showing up from out of sync ufos.

Rense stopped posting ufos but some like this might still be there.
The ufo section is almost normal compared to the copy on their
pages.

A lot showed two in the photo, like waiting for the pilot in training
to get a handle on the machine. Here is the panorama of at least
three craft blasting out lightning now and then:





Here is a chart for my ball lightning primer, the mpeg came out with
no sound, still a long way to go on simple electrical phenomena:

This is very beautiful I love comets.

A lot better than ufos, and thats all we used to see at one time.

I leave it to the people who know the sky, I could never tell you
when the Pleiades star cluster were out.

Nice fantail, pass the shrimp sauce mate...

WOW!
Looks like the S. Hemisphere is in for quite the treat, on this return trip.

Didn't realize it it would come out from behind the Sun so quickly.

Thanks R' , for the tip.

And the new wallpaper

Wow I wish that was a ufo gone wild, but its not.

A least comets stay around for a month or so.

Hey CYRAX, now we know you didn't have a comet.

Actually, after staring at the current fantail, I figured I better investigate the
orbit of McNaught.

I guess it would be more accurate to say,
swing around the Sun,
rather than, coming out from behind the Sun,
as is nicely demonstrated in the above link.
