Comet Holmes on its way to brightest in history

[Richard]

I like the mystery too. It will be interesting to see if they come up with additional info as time goes on.

Comet Holmes Bigger Than The Sun

Summary
Formerly, the Sun was the largest object in the Solar System. Now, comet 17P/Holmes holds that distinction.

Spectacular outbursting comet 17P/Holmes exploded in size and brightness on October 24. It continues to expand and is now the largest single object in the Solar system, being bigger than the Sun (see Figure). The diameter of the tenuous dust atmosphere of the comet was measured at 1.4 million kilometers (0.9 million miles) on 2007 November 9 by Rachel Stevenson, Jan Kleyna and Pedro Lacerda of the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy. They used observations from a wide-field camera on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), one of the few professional instruments still capable of capturing the whole comet in one image. Other astronomers involved in the UH program to study the comet include Bin Yang, Nuno Peixinho and David Jewitt. The present eruption of comet Holmes was first reported on October 24 and has continued at a steady 0.5 km/sec (1100 mph) ever since. The comet is an unprecedented half a million times brighter than before the eruption began. This amazing eruption of the comet is produced by dust ejected from a tiny solid nucleus made of ice and rock, only 3.6 km (roughly 2.2 miles) in diameter.

The white ''star'' near the center of the coma is in fact the dust-shrouded nucleus. (Right) the Sun and planet Saturn shown at the same scale for comparison.

The new image also shows the growth of a tail on comet Holmes (the fuzzy region to the lower right in the comet picture), caused by the pressure of sunlight acting on dust grains in the coma. Over the next few weeks and months, the coma and tail are expected to expand even more while the comet will fade as the dust disperses. Comet Holmes showed a double outburst in November 1892 and January 1893. It is not known if the present activity in the comet will follow the pattern from 1892, but continued observations from Mauna Kea are planned to watch for a second outburst. Most comets show small fluctuations in brightness and some have distinct outbursts. The huge event on-going in comet Holmes is unprecedented, however.

The orbit period of comet Holmes is about 6 years, putting it in the class of Jupiter Family Comets whose orbits are strongly influenced by Jupiter. These objects are thought to have spent most of the last 4.5 billion years orbiting the Sun beyond Neptune, in a region known as the Kuiper Belt. Holmes probably was deflected into its present orbit within the last few thousand years and is losing mass as it evaporates in the heat of the Sun. In another few thousand years it is likely either to hit the Sun or a planet, be ejected from the Solar system, or simply die by running out of gas.

[size="2"]I read this info last night  --two more opinions on what's going on w/Holmes:

[/size]

1. [size="2"]    this guy thinks that a new planet is forming.  Isn't that fascinating.  He says "...[color="black"]we very well may have a new planet in the process of formation...".[/color][/size]
2. [size="2"][color="black"][color="black"]Goro Adachi says that around [/color][/color][/size][color="black"][size="2"]January 21, 2008, Comet Holmes is to unite with a famous star in Perseus,  Algol.   Wikipedia says about Algol -- "...Astrologically, Algol is considered the most unfortunate star in the sky. In the Middle Ages it was one of the 15 Behenian stars, associated with the diamond and hellebore, and marked with the kabbalistic sign..."[/size][/color]

Sorcha Faal has an interesting article about comet homes. She says it matches Blavatsky’s prophecy. Here’s a clip from the article, more can be read at the link.

As our Sun is about to enter into Ophiuchus, once again, while at the exact same time that the War Planet Mars is indeed ‘retreating[/i]’ as it reverses its course for 11 weeks, and as “the blue-colored gaseous tail of Comet 17P/Homes [has] broke[n] away from its greenish dense nucleus[/i]” does, indeed, seem to match Madame Blavatsky’s words, “also blue light separates from the green[/i]”, there does appear to be a valid, and concerning, warning being given to our World today about these weeks we are about to enter.

Warning Of Cataclysm As The 13th Sign Of The Black Sun Arrives

I read this yesterday, Richard, and found it to be extremely triggering.  It kind of goes with what I mentioned before about Sorcha's messages being meant for the reptilian brain/reptilians.

I have not found reading about or viewing the images of Comet Holmes on other websites or forums to be triggering but this article surely was for me.

[Richard]

I think there might be some disinfo in the article but I didn’t feel triggered by it. Why do you say it is meant for reptilians?

[Polly]

Ever since I first started reading Sorcha's articles which was at least a few years ago, there is an energy behind those words which I feel, and I think it is meant to hook into the reptilian brain.

 

[Richard]

What would be the purpose of that?

[MC]

I would have to say that the new so called comet heralds a warning to the Illuminati. It is disputable that this is a real comet.Whatever it is,it is huge.Bigger than the Sun, and sent by the ones in the Kuipers Belt.One of the links says that it came from the Kuipers Belt.I will attempt to get more info,other than that they plan on some action towards the end of next year,and no,I don't mean the illuminati.

Richard, do you remember that article you posted (I think it was you) about how the reptilian mind believes everything is real it sees on TV, even if the conscious mind does not?  It's similar to Sorcha's articles.  There is a background energy in those articles which hooks into the reptilian mind and the reptilian mind believes what is written.  This is my opinion based upon having read so many of Sorcha's articles over a long period of time and noting my reactions to them.  The last one about the black sun hit me harder than any before that.
