Ahh man, I missed them? I'm sure if they did come early, then they're no longer approaching the sun, and thus no longer where the evil astronomers are saying they are. I'm also sure that someone must have seen them. Why didn't they tell me? Didn't they get my memo?

What Nancy is trying to claim is that they won't become naked eye objects - apparently she thinks they already were. I remember her claiming that Venus was actually Q4 not to long ago. So, she can now refer to her web pages and claim that it was so. Judging by current observations, (and I hate to say it) she's probably correct. Q4 may just make it by the skin of it's teeth, and T7 will be a Southern hemisphere object at it's predicted maximum. But, anyone who's been watching the observed magnitudes of both realizes already that they aren't going to the great comets that was thought 12 months ago. We can always hope for a change, but it doesn't look like they'll be as bright as expected 10 months ago. T7 was holding around 7th magnitude when I was observing it last - for almost all of January and February, Reports from the South don't favor Q4 much either. Both may just get to magnitude 2 or 3. As I said, we can always hope they have an unexpected outburst, but I'm not expecting it at this point. Either way, I'll be looking at Q4 when it finally starts breaking through the twilight in May. |

I'm also wondering how she is going to explain that tonight Venus and the Moon lined up so nicely if the earth's orbit has been bobbling, reversing, etc.
Matches up quite nicely with what Cartes du Ciel is showing (the planetary DB on my copy of C du C is pushing four or more years old). Tom Mosher

Perhaps Nancy thinks that any comets are really goverment controled holographs (though which goverment? The Reptillian one?)

Since the 5 planets are visible now, doesn't that also shoot her "bobbling" theory out the window also? :-?

She will most likely ignore all of it, or say that the planets are stars out of position or that they are the "dark twins". #-o |

Plus, according to my photos(taken with an object feared by woo woo's everywhere, a telescope) Jupiters moons transited Jupiter last night as predicted. And I bet they will do the same thing Saturday night as well.
