Predictions on “Deep Impact”

"With the imminent arrival of the “Deep Impact” spacecraft at the comet Tempel 1, it is time to test competing theories on the nature of comets. The predictions and lines of reasoning offered here will set the stage for future analysis of the “electric comet” model."...http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2005/arch05/050704predictions.htm

NASA Releases Probe to Collide With Comet
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: July 3, 2005

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- A NASA space probe was bearing down on its comet target Sunday in a suicide mission scientists hoped would provide new insight into the origins of the solar system.The 820-pound copper probe was on course to intercept Tempel 1, a pickle-shaped comet half the size of Manhattan, and smash a hole in it so scientists could get their first peek at the heart of one of the icy celestial bodies.The ''impactor'' probe, which separated from the Deep Impact spacecraft just after 11 p.m. PDT Saturday, appeared in photos taken hours later from the mothership as a bright, distinct dot as it made its 500,000-mile dive toward the sunlit section of Tempel 1.The mothership, meanwhile, fired its thrusters to slightly change course and stake out a front-row seat 5,000 miles from the high-speed collision, expected to occur at 10:52 p.m. PDT Sunday....


On the night of July 3–4 and for several evenings immediately afterward, Comet Tempel 1 will be situated in the western sky not far from the bright star Spica. Even after Deep Impact makes its splashy arrival, the comet will likely not be visible to the unaided eye. Instead, try looking in the location marked X with good binoculars or a telescope. The comet may look like a very faint, fuzzy star.

"ARE COMETS DIRTY SNOW BALLS ??? there has been sufficient data for a long time to prove conclusively that they are exactly what i have been saying all along ... THE PLASMA DISCHARGE COMET MODEL ... once again NASA has designed a space probe completely unsuited for the purpose of general discovery of a Plasma Discharge Comet ... but as in the past will NASA continue with its charade ???
