Yeah, it was a pretty silly article. It just seemed to be saying, "what if
In the context of what I had written I concede this is

However. I'd like to know which comets have confirmed
hydrovulcanism and where the info source.
I can appreciate it happens but the energy source for
such an event seems lacking once beyond the ice line.
I am quite willing to bl
Hello Rob, All,
Comets are generally considered to be a thin layer of
rocky material over a lot of volatites, the complete
opposite. I could well be wrong on this. Virgin comets
are unusually bright on their first perihelion
passage. One theory is that the surface volatiles ar
vapourised away l
Hi Sterling -
For a history of the effects in North, Central, and
South America of Earth's recent encounter with Comet
Encke, see my book "Man and Impact in the Americas".
The current thinking is that SW3 will sublimate into
dust, but I am not very sure about that. In the worst

Hi,
This speculation that 2003 EL61 could become an inner
system Giant Comet is a very, very strange one. I find it
extremely puzzling. Brown, whom I admire greatly, is a finder,

Hi,
This speculation that 2003 EL61 could become an
inner system Giant Comet is a very, very strange one.
I find it extremely puzzling. But, if 2003 EL61 did, it
would just be the capper on this strangest of all strange
worlds in the solar system! I posted some information
about EL61 last year
