Science & Technology
This 'LINEAR' C/2012 X1 was discovered after C/2012 S1 - i.e., ISON. 'S' vs. 'X'. This 'LINEAR' (and there are a lot of comets discovered by LINEAR) is still in the asteroid belt. It will not make perihelion till February 21, 2014. So it is trailing ISON by 3 months.

Yeh, that and the notion that comets 'explode'. I see jets streaming from it, a coma around it, and a significant brightening... but no explosion.
Comets and the 'vacuum of space' are not what NASA et al think they are!

Comet Ison: Should we fear it?
Interested in comet doomsday theories? Already the Internet is abuzz with this one (Google "comet ISON black death" and see for yourself). Want more? Comet ISON plays a role in my new just-published science fiction novel, "A Journal of the Crazy Year."

Quote of the Day
"Mr. President, the GLADIO system has operated for four decades under various names. It has operated clandestinely, and we are entitled to attribute to it all the destabilization, all the provocation and all the terrorism that have occurred in our countries over these four decades, and to say that, actively or passively, it must have had an involvement. It was set up by the CIA and NATO which, while purporting to defend democracy, were actually undermining it and using it for their own nefarious purposes."
~ Greek MEP at a European Parliament debate about 'Operation GLADIO', 22 November 1990
- Vassilis Ephremidis

"The outburst does not necessarily signal a disintegration of the comet. Possibly, a local vein or cavern of deep ice in the comet's nucleus has been exposed to sunlight. Rapid evaporation of fragile ices could account for the comet's bigger- and brighter-than-expected atmosphere."
The mentioned website has been providing distorted reports on NEOs, CMEs and suppressing infos about the real nature of space events. Where to get a decent space news?
I visit solarham.com and solarmonitor.org (which both depend on NASA anyway) for the things about the Sun but for the rest it is a cherry picking.
