Thanks cheesy, a moving mass, changes form or fragments, can be effected differently by gravitational forces, therefore changing it's path due to these forces. all bets are off if this thing does fragment, who knows where it will go....and what peices where?

No, changing form or fragmenting does not change the path. The pieces would continue on the same trajectory as the comet.

Cheesy.. I think you are too heavily invested in this and your "respect at ATS" to remain in any way objective about this any further. Thanks for the links and information however but please remain open minded and allow for the possibility it may have actually done what the images suggest it has.

Why is everyone suddenly sayin' that? If it was true then all 21 pieces of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 would end in one particular spot on Jupiter. Would a planet sized body have the same trajectory? Every piece has also it's own inertia and resistance against solar wind etc. I don't think it's a complete truth.edit on 18/11/2013 by PapagiorgioCZ because: (no reason given)
