Thanks.

Plasma X-Rays !?!

I find this very interesting in the study you provided.

'No one expected comet Hyakutake (small comet & far away)
to be a powerful source of X-rays. "Astronomers using ROSAT (The European Space Agency's Roentgen satellite) were SHOCK
to FIND X-RAYS emission around the comet 1,000 times more intense than anyone had predicted."

hmmm?

I wonder if this space satellite(ROSAT) is being used right now to check and study T7 and Q4 for possible X-Ray emissions, since these two giants will leave alot of debris
in earth orbital plane ?

T7 will pass us closest at 0.26 AU, which is @ 24 million
miles according to NASA/JPL chart, but the tail might hit us on the 17th of May ???

It all depends on the out-gasing of T7, which I don't know ! We (The public) don't know the real size of T7 and Q4 yet ? This Satursday we will see T7 and Bradfield F4 then the pc's of the puzzle will start falling into place slowly ?!

I wonder if ROSAT have a website link ?

Thanks again...got to go
vet out

It will be of interest to see how the weather is in the next while.
The Storms of yesterday..especially Utica Illinois.
Allthough this is a natural storm period in the United States..the Earths magnetic may be effected by the recent passage of Comet C/2004 F4 Bradfield...ie..as the Sun has been electrically interfacing with the comet..the comets Ion flow ..AU distance depends on Coma size.
Charged particles are being dumped into our inner solar system and are drawn to Earth like a magnet.
A very large High pressure system is sitting off the Eastern seaboard..and part of the reason for the large storms and 150mph winds.

The Sun had several electrical interface ejections when Bradfield passed..these are seen on the SOHO ani.

Highly negatively charged comet...Sun dumping Ions and Protons in Quantum jump.

On May 15th 2004 there will be a spectacular display of 4 planets and a very bright, (Magnitude 1.50), naked eye, comet called C/2004 Q4 (NEAT). This comet will be putting on quite a show during May. Observers should look forward to tracking this beauty all the way into summer of 2004 where it starts to dip down to a magnitude of 7.0
