      • This is the book that Walt asked me to study first.... so it's better to read it soon! ;)

      • why it has a co,a even before it!:

        1- it has out going gass from a initial pressure from nucli
        2- the particles are going forward sun becasue of electrostatic issues
        3-they are always before nuli becasue of termodynamics issues and electrostatic issues
        4-.....!

      • Why dust?????????? why not ions?

    • [Try this...make a right (90 degree) angle with your thumb and index finger. Your index finger is the main tail and your thumb is the dust left in the comet's orbit. Point your finger and thumb directly away from you (keeping the angle 90 degrees). Your finger seems to be going in exactly the opposite direct from the thumb. This is what causes an anti-tail.]

      • ask this from Walt

    • One of Saturn's rings does housecleaning, soaking up material gushing from the fountains on Saturn's tiny ice moon Enceladus, according to new observations from the Cassini spacecraft.

      • i am thinking about the relationship between these and the comet tails.... are they same? can we espect the same material..... i guess i will help how and when these things formed..........

    • Open Issues

        

       Many engineering tasks need to be undertaken to make comet mining a reality:  

       * Simple processes to create 1/5 atm pressure vessels from cometary
        ice & tar, including greenhouse windows
       * elaborate/refine 3d printer designs
       * variable gravity bolo
       * minimize processes requiring gravity
       * Gas/plasma separation processes
       * plant automation (maintenence, etc.) -- this may be the
       primary technological bottleneck
       * Nitrogenous fertilizer from ammonia
       * Carbon -> CaC -> acetylene vs. syngas (CO + H2) -> hydrocarbons
        via Fischer-Tropsch
       * Phenolic resins vs. urea-formaldehyde/fiberboard
       * Polyethylene, alpha-olefins, polystyrene, PVC

      • new things that i can work on comets!

    www.ifa.hawaii.edu/...submm.html comets for sunmilimeter wavelenghts

    • These wavelengths convey special information about comets,

      • what wavelengths are good for what?
