Comet Encke's Tail Ripped Off
Credit: Angelos Vourlidas (NRL) et al., SECCHI / STEREO, NASA
Explanation:

Swinging inside the orbit of Mercury, on April 20th periodic comet Encke encountered a blast from the Sun in the form of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). When CMEs, enormous clouds of energetic particles ejected from the Sun, slam into Earth's magnetosphere, they often trigger auroral displays. But in this case, the collison carried the tail of the comet away. The tail was likely ripped off by interacting magnetic fields rather than the mechanical pressure of the collision. Clicking on the two panel image will play a movie gif of the remarkable event as recorded by the Heliospheric Imager onboard the STEREO A spacecraft. In the movie, the time between frames is about 45 minutes, while the frames span about 14x20 million kilometers at the distance of the comet. Of course, similar collisions have happened before as the ancient comet loops through its 3.3 year solar orbit. So don't worry, Encke's tail grows back!

by Micha F. Lindemans
The Sumerian high god of water and intellect, creation, wisdom and medicine who could restore the dead to life. He was the source of all secret and magical knowledge of life and immortality. Enki possessed the secret of me, 'culture, civilization', which is the genius of progress in knowledge to lead humanity. He invented civilization for the people and assigned to each his destiny. He created order in the cosmos. He filled the rivers with fish. He invented the plough and the yoke so that farmers could till the earth with oxen. He made the grain grow. He is the father of all plants.
In most myths his consort is Damkina, or Ninhursag, who gave him a daughter. Enki is depicted on a relief holding Zu, the storm-bird. His main cult center was Eridu in ancient Sumer, one of the first cities in the world. He was called Ea in Babylonian, King of Apsu.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------King

Star Trails at Dawn


Star Trails at Dawn
Credit & Copyright: Koen van Gorp
Explanation:

Just fix your camera to a tripod and you too can make an image of graceful trails traced by the stars as planet Earth rotates on its axis. Made on September 14 from Montlaux, France, this wide-angle view nicely shows the stars near the celestial equator tracing nearly straight lines in projection, while stars north and south of the equator, respectively, appear to circle the north and south celestial poles. Featured are the stars of Orion (right of center), brilliant Venus rising (left) as bright star Sirius rises in the south (bottom center), and a polar orbiting Iridium satellite (upper left). Beautiful dawn sky colors seem painted along the horizon. This remarkable picture was constructed from 477 consecutive 30 second digital exposures recorded over 4.3 hours and later combined.

Periodic Table - Extended Periodic Table

Iridium (pronounced /ɪˈrɪdiəm/) is a chemical element that has the symbol Ir and atomic number 77.

A dense, very hard, brittle, silvery-white transition metal of the platinum family, iridium is used in high-strength alloys that can withstand high temperatures and occurs in natural alloys with platinum or osmium. Iridium is notable for being the most corrosion-resistant element known and for its significance in the determination of the probable cause of the extinction, by a meteorite strike, of the dinosaurs. It is used in high-temperature apparatus, electrical contacts, and as a hardening agent for platinum.

PSALM 22


A Prophecy of Yahshua


22:1 My Strength! My Strength! Yahweh! Yahweh! Why have you forsaken Me? O why are you so far from helping Me, and from the words of my groaning?

22:2 O Yahweh I cry in the daytime & at night; I am not silent but You do not hear.

22:3 But You are holy, Who have the praises of Israyl.

22:4 Our fathers trusted You; they trusted You, and You delivered them.

22:5 They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

22:6 But I am a worm*, and no man, but despised! I am scorned by men and despised by the people.



This Psalm is a prophecy of the Messiah to come, and how He would be perceived by the masses; as a worm, amongst the basest of all creatures.

This speaks of the uncomprehensible love of Yahweh for all Humankind, that He would thus abase His Son for OUR sake.


Though this Psalm begins as a Lament, it finishes as an exhaltation to Yahweh.

This is the Psalm Yahshua recited while dying upon the Stake.

Mattithyah (matthew)

27:46 Yli! Yli! lamah ozabatniy?! My Strength! My Strength! Why have you forsaken me?

27:48 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said; This Man calls for Yliyah(elijah),(which means the strength of Yahweh).

The Ultraviolet Spectrum of Periodic Comet Encke (1980 Xl)
P. D. FELDMAN ~ AND H. A. WEAVER
Department of Physics and Astronomy. The Johns lIopkins Uniuersity.

A comparison of the ultraviolet spectrum of periodic Comet Encke (1980 XI), recorded by the IUE between 24 October and 5 November 1980 with similar spectra of short- and long-period comets shows the gaseous composition of P/Encke to be nearly identical to that of the other comets observed by the IUE. If P/Encke is indeed the remains of a once giant comet, this similarity implies a homogeneous radial structure for the cometary ice nucleus. The OH brightness distribution shows a spatial variation similar to the visible fan-shaped image of the comet, suggestive of a nonuniform distribution of volatile ices on the surface of the nucleus. The total derived water production rate appears to be a factor of 5 higher than that derived from HI Lyman-α observations made during the 1970 apparition and shows a variation with heliocentric distance (r) as r−3.3 over the range 0.81 to 1.02 AU.

Icarus

The orbits of the brightest comets (the socalled "new" comets) are nearly parabolic so that they approach the Sun (within ~ 0.5 AU) very seldom in their lifetimes and are, thus, not strongly modified by the effects of solar radiation. Most of the periodic comets ("old" comets) are not as bright because they never get very close to the Sun (perihelion distance q => I AU). Comet Encke is an exceptional comet in that it is a short period comet (r ~ 3.3 years) which passes very close to the Sun (q = 0.34 AU). As a consequence Comet Encke has been the object of fairly extensive study, having been observed at every perihelion passage except one since its discovery in 1786. During this time the study of Comet Encke has contributed significantly to the advancement of cometary science.



Charge-coupled device photometry of Comet P/Halley

Comet P/Halley has been observed during its approach to perihelion at heliocentric distances R = 11.0 AU and R = 8.2 AU. No extended coma is seen and limits can be placed on the fraction of the total light contributed by coma. The brightness of the comet varies on a short time scale. The variations may be due to transient activity or to rotation of the irregular nucleus.

Comet p/Halley nucleus

JHK photometry of Comet Bowell (1982I)

Comet Bowell (1982I) was observed at JHK (1.25, 1.68, 2.25 μm) with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on 10 March 1981, 3–5 June 1981, and 22 February 1982. The inner coma was no brighter near perihelion in February 1982 than it was in 1981. Total are × albedo of the grains within 104 km of the nucleus was not, vert, similar5 × 1012 cm2.

8- to 13-μm spectrophotometry of Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock

We present spectrophotometry between 8.0 and 13.0 microns at 2% spectral resolution for areas in and near the nuclear condensation of Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock (1983d) on May 11 and 12, 1983. All the spectra can be fit very well by blackbody curves, and no 10 micron silicate emissions are seen. The temperature structure of the coma suggests the presence of small (radii <5 microns) dust particles within 150 km of the nucleus and larger ones further out. The change in the spatial distribution of the infrared flux between the two nights suggests that an outburst may have occurred sometime on May 11.

Comet P/Holmes, 1892III: A case of duplicity? May 1984

The observations of comet P/Holmes 1892III, exhibiting two 8- to 10-mag bursts, have been carefully analyzed. The phenomena are consistent with the grazing encounter of a small satellite with the nucleus on November 4.6, 1892, and the final encounter on January 16.3, 1893. The grazing encounter produced, besides the first great burst, an active area on the nucleus, which was rotating retrograde with a period of 16.3 hr and inclination of nearly 180°. After the final encounter, the spin period was essentially unchanged, but two areas became active, separated some 164° in longitude on the nucleus. After the first burst the total magnitude fell less than 2 mag from November 7 to 30 (barely naked eye) while the nuclear region remained diffuse or complex, rarely of ever showing a stellar appearance. The fading was much more rapid after the second burst (barely naked eye at maximum) while the nucleus frequently appeared stellar after the first day. It seems reasonable to conclude that the grazing encounter distributed a volume of large chunks in the neighborhood of the nucleus, maintaining activity for weeks. The final encounter activated a new area on the nucleus, the shock and fall back disturbing the area already exposed by the grazing encounter. Several details of this scenario are fitted rather well.

This first appearance of this short-period comet (P = 6.9 years" q = 2.1 AU) was extraordinary, perhaps unique. Certainly a huge burst that occurred near November 5. 1892. made the discovery possible on November 8. Holmes (1893) reports that the comet had not been visible in the same region less than 2 weeks before his discovery. It may be added that the comet was discovered as a bright object nearly 5 months earlier after its perihelion passage, although the observing geometry was favourable all the time at perihelion, the comet should have been only 1).5 mag fainter than near opposition 5 months later). It was also the first shortperiod comet of q > 2 ever discovered.

LIGHT SO FAST IT MOVES----BACKWARD !
Here a link to a recent experiment where light goes through a device so fast, it appears to move backward.

Takes a few to load the animation, but the graphic is worth seeing.

http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=2544

It seems to suggest that the leading edge of a wave contains all the information of the full wave behind it----making it appear to travel faster than c itself.

Would be interesting to speculate on what this discovery may mean to understanding Dual Slit experiments and/or the phenomenon of gravitational lensing.

Also makes you wonder about the possible quantization of starlight and redshifts.

Fascinating.

Galaxys spin backwards also

I think some spin forwards and some spin backwards (correct me if I'm wrong). I'd say that it's more the illusion of going backwards, though. So the analogy goes, spiral arms are more like traffic jams than actual... flailing arms. Stars orbit the galactic center, moving faster in the less-dense "arm-less" areas of the galactic disk and moving slower in the more-dense "arms," all the while orbiting the galactic center not in a clear circular orbit like Earth around the Sun but bobbing up and down through the disk.

Looking down from a helicopter, you can see cars (stars) on a highway moving a certain direction but the actual traffic jam (spiral arms) moves backward as the cars in front breach the jam and speed up while cars in the back slow down in entering the jam.

Re: LIGHT SO FAST IT MOVES----BACKWARD !
This is quite interesting for several reasons. It appears that there are some similarities between what goes on within semiconductor material and what is going on with the particular fiber optics in this experiment. In materials like silicone or germanium, once doped with impurities such as arsenic or gallium they become semiconductors. In this instance the glass is doped with erbium and the resulting effect on light seems rather strange.

I would be curious to see how long of a fiber optic of this type would result in a failure of the experiment. To exaggerate, I don't think that a fiber optic equal in length to the distance from New York to Los Angeles would produce the same result with the pulse coming out the other end before the incoming pulse entered the fiber. Also, I would like to know at what distance in front of the fiber optic the pulse is as the other pulse appears..

An optical fiber consists of a cylindrical inner core that carries the light and an outer concentric shell called the "cladding". The core is made from a higher refraction of index material than is the cladding. Light sent down the fiber travels a zig-zag path with total internal relfection since the incident angle is greater than the critical angle.

When light travels through a material with a smaller refractive index toward a material with a larger refractive index (air to gasoline), reflection at the boundary occurs along with a phase change in the wave equal to 1/2 of a wavelength. When light travels from a larger to a smaller refractive index, there is no phase change upon reflection at the boundary.

It seems possible that the refractive index of the optic material in optical fiber's core in the experiment has become variable and can change based on the particular distance the pulse is from the material. In this respect it also acts like it has some capacitive qualities with some apparent moving dielectric-like characteristic moving ahead of the pulse. It is as if a second source of light appears at the opposite boundary and flashes in phase, sending waves that split from the source and move in all directions like a light bulb.

Boyd may have invented a new type of semiconductor. Only it is not electricity that is being manipulated here. Light pulses are.

Re: LIGHT SO FAST IT MOVES----BACKWARD !
Light does some strange things. JS Bell did a few (thousand) thought experiments and a few lab trials to see that some things DO move faster than C. Try Wikipedia for Bell's Theorem to get the full treatment.

A few researchers at NASA tried to use some weird transmission medium for radio communications in the Apollo Project, using Tesla transmission. Varies considerably from single sideband, shoots a narrow beam of energized photons and supposedly claws its way through solar radiation that can ruin normal AM and/or FM transmission. Tesla tried it many years ago and said he wasn't going to take it further: the mathematician he hired said he was fooling around with things he shouldn't: more dimensions than the four we know and love so well: time, length, height, and width. It was the beginning of research into zero-dimension, that exists only as time (the math gets decidedly weird).

I know I'm going to get a lot of static, but hat's off to Tesla. Light moves at C, but "information" isn't light. Maybe if we master what NASA first tried in the 1960's, we'll be able to detect dark matter/energy directly. I have the sneaking hunch that we're going to do a lot of research in the field before long, if only to understand gravity better.

"Boyd may have invented a new type of semiconductor . . .."

If so, Southwestern Bell would like to see his paperwork. They're working on ways to speed up photo cable without resorting to phase-wrecking transducer-amplifier-transducer rigs every few dozen miles along the route. Texas Instrument has been doing work on it also, with no results that you'd write home about (except for money).

Back in 1953, Philo T. Farnsworth (of TV fame) did some preliminary work on transmitting TV signals by photo cable, notably without results. The problem was laying the cable correctly, although boosting light signals is a technology we still do not understand well.

When you understand everything there is to know about light . . . put in for a Nobel Prize in Physics, because you'd be the first to crack the riddle of the common photon.

Impressive New Tricks of Light, All Within the Laws of Physics


By KENNETH CHANG
Published: May 16, 2006
To make light go backward, hold up a mirror. Light bounces off the mirror and goes back.


Related Animation of Backwards Light
(.mpg)
More Information From the University of Rochester



Robert W. Boyd, a professor of optics at the University of Rochester, however, did not choose this easy, straightforward technique.

Instead, in the latest example of logic-defying tricks that physicists can now perform with light, Dr. Boyd and his colleagues demonstrated an optical fiber — a glass strand that transmits pulses of light — with a couple of odd characteristics:

¶A pulse of light shot into the fiber departs before it enters.

¶Within the fiber, the pulse travels backward — and faster than the speed of light.

Perhaps most amazingly, Dr. Boyd's results do not violate any law of physics. The effect is indeed predicted by the equations describing the propagation of waves.

"This is a good example of something which is very counterintuitive that the laws of nature permit," Dr. Boyd said.

An article describing the experiment appears in the current issue of the journal Science.

In the vacuum of space, light travels at a constant 186,282 miles per second. When it passes through a transparent material like glass or water, it slows slightly, in effect bouncing off atoms as it moves.

In 1999, physicists led by Lene Vestergaard Hau of Harvard slowed the speed of light to a leisurely 38 miles per hour by shining it into an exotic ultracooled material known as Bose-Einstein condensate.

Two years later, Dr. Hau's group, as well as a second team of scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, were able to bring light to a standstill — and then release it with its original properties intact.

In other experiments, scientists have shown that it is possible to make light at least appear as if it is traveling faster than the speed of light. Physicists hope to harness such manipulations of light to speed up optical communications.

For Dr. Boyd's trick, the scientists used an optical fiber of glass with small amounts of the metal erbium, which acts as an amplifier. In the experiment, a pulse of laser light was fired into the fiber. Even before the peak of the pulse entered the fiber, another pulse appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, at the far end of the fiber.

This new pulse then split in two. One, a twin of the original pulse, moved forward, while the other moved backward through the fiber.

The backward pulse, which traveled faster than the speed of light, and the original pulse met at the front end of the fiber, where they canceled each other.

Even though one pulse momentarily became three, the experiment did not violate the law mandating conservation of energy because the amplifying effect of the erbium added a temporary surge of energy.

At first glance, the experiment appears to flout the usual speed limit on the transmission of signals as the original pulse jumped to the forward-moving pulse on the other side of the fiber.

However, the pulses were in a shape known as Gaussian, which is, in principle, infinite in width, though in practice not quite that wide.

Thus, the outgoing pulse was actually just part of the original pulse that was reshaped by the fiber's unusual properties.

"It's really kind of showing the kind of manipulation of light we can do these days," Dr. Hau said of Dr. Boyd's experiment.

Dr. Boyd said this effect might find some application in speeding up optical communications, but it is, for now, mostly just an impressive trick of physics. "I find it neat," he said. "I find it nifty."
