Must they tell us about Eveyone ? We can See ISON Ourselves.....

Nov. 28 2013,

Scientists say comet ISON is headed to the sun, and if it survives, the comet would be visible even in daylight from Earth.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A recently discovered comet, dazzlingly bright even though it is still almost as far away as Jupiter, is racing toward a November rendezvous with the sun, officials said Tuesday.

If it survives the encounter — and that's a big if — the comet may be visible even in daylight in Earth's skies at the end of the year.

Discovered by amateur astronomers in September, comet ISON is about to reach the outer edge of the asteroid belt, located about 280 million miles from Earth, said William Cooke, lead scientist at NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

The comet is shedding dust from its nucleus at a rate of more than 112,000 pounds per minute, the result of heating by the sun, observations from NASA's Swift telescope show.

That level of activity is unusual for a comet still so far away from the sun. It could spell its doom.

Preliminary measurements made with the Hubble Space Telescope, which captured an image of the comet that was released Tuesday, indicate comet ISON's body is no more than 4 miles in diameter.

The comet's nucleus will continue to shrink as it flies closer toward the sun and heats up. The rock-and-ice object could break up completely before it gets as close as 700,000 miles from the sun's surface Nov. 28.

A comet in the 1970s passed 10 times farther away than that and partly disintegrated, Cooke said.

"I doubt this thing is going to survive. I guess we won't know for sure until we look for it to come out from behind the sun," he said.

The comet was named for the International Scientific Optical Network, or ISON, telescope that made its discovery.

Southeast Fresno and nextdoor.com

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A new tool for families in Fresno is gaining popularity. It's a way to connect with your neighbors to share information about everything from crime trends to babysitter recommendations.

A neighborhood in Southeast Fresno is where Kasie Ferrare formed a neighborhood watch group several years ago. Nowadays, meetings have been replaced by internet postings about what's going on in the neighborhood. The website is available 24 hours a day, for free. By the growing number of neighbors logging on, many are finding it's easy and convenient to be informed.

"If someone is shooting off fireworks at 2 in the morning, which we have an issue with that sometimes, we'll post it. Try to figure out who it is, pinpoint the neighbor," said Ferrare. "If somebody is having a loud party, and it's really good too if you are having a loud party. A lot of people get on their and say hey, I'm going to have a party- if i am too loud, let me know."


Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says nextdoor.com is a great way for officers to also notify neighbors about concerning trends, like car break ins. Officers will also be able to provide pertinent information to one specific area immediately. If the police helicopter is searching for a suspect or there's a ground search, neighbors can be told to stay inside.

Dyer said, "What we can do in advance of that or at the same time- we can send out an alert to all those neighbors within that particular neighborhood and let them know why we are there in the first place and what they can do to be on the lookout."

Last month, Kristine Walter used nextdoor.com when her neighbor died to let other neighbors know what happened and how they could reach out to the family.

"so this program serves a variety of purposes and it is unifying our neighbors," said Walter. "We're currently 110 strong and were looking to add another 50 to our site."

The websites co-founder says the site is also a place to post community events or services, but only neighbors who live near you can join in the conversation or post.

In order to be part of a group you have to be verified as living in that area. And although police can post, they are not able to see what neighbors are discussing.

P/2013 P5, Many UFO'S Explained I See One too!

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — This is one strange asteroid.
The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a six-tailed asteroid in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists say they've never seen anything like it. Incredibly, the comet-like tails change shape as the asteroid sheds dust. The streams have occurred over several months.
A research team led by the University of California, Los Angeles, believes the asteroid, designated P/2013 P5, is rotating so much that its surface is flying apart. It's believed to be a fragment of a larger asteroid damaged in a collision 200 million years ago.
Scientists using the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii spotted the asteroid in August. Hubble picked out all the tails in September.
The discovery is described in this week's issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters.


Summary  published by Astrophysical Journal Letters


The main properties of active asteroid P/2013 P5 determined from Hubble Space Tele-
scope observations are summarized as follows:
1. The object shows a central nucleus (absolute magnitude HV 18.6, corresponding to a
mean radius of 0.24 0.04 km or less, with assumed geometric albedo pV = 0.29 0.09)
embedded in a system of six, divergent dust tails. The scattering cross-section of the
dust exceeds that of the nucleus by a factor 13.
2. There is dramatic morphological change in the tails between UT 2013 Sep 10 and 23,
but very little photometric change in the nucleus or near-nucleus dust environments.
3. The position angle of each tail can be characterized by a di erent date of ejection, with
a ve month age span (from UT 2013 April 15 to Sep 04) that indicates continuing
activity at the nucleus.
4. Mass loss through rotational disruption is the most plausible mechanism driving the
mass loss.
Based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, with data
obtained at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). Support for program 13475 was
provided by NASA through a grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is
operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA
contract NAS 5-26555. We thank Alison Vick, Tomas Dahlen, and other members of the
STScI ground system team for their expert help in planning and scheduling these Target of
Opportunity observations

ladybug ladybug your house is on fire....

Have you noticed an increase in the amount of ladybugs you have seen this fall? Are you tired of seeing swarms of these little pests all over your windows and walls? You aren’t alone, ladybugs are taking over the country. The reason so many are fighting to get inside is due to the cold weather.

In many parts of the United States, the temperature went from warm to cold very fast. Ladybugs usually start to swarm houses and warm places after the first cold spell because they are looking for warmth and shelter. Since the cold set in so quickly, the ladybugs are swarming worse than usual and are desperate to get out of the cold
