UFAFANUZI JUU YA HALI YA TAARUKI ANGANI KILIKUWA CHA DUARA CHEUPE ....SOMA HAPA NA VIDEO IPO

When the comet vanished a couple of months ago, it had brightened very little if at all since the beginning of 2013. Astronomers had hoped that, while masked by the light of the sun, ISON would begin brightening at a more robust pace as it drew nearer to our star.

Unfortunately, that has not happened.



Hii taarifa ilitolewa na Astronomers saa 8zilizopita: Kwa mujibu wa report ya wataalamu wa anga,kuna kimondo/comet kikubwa kinairwa ISON kilitazamiwa kupita jirani na sayari yetu ya Dunia kati ya mwishoni mwa September na Mwanzoni mwa October.

Kimondo hicho kinaelekea kwenye jua hivyo kitakua kinaungua na kuwa na mwanga mkali kadri muda unavyokwenda.

Kama uliona rangi nyeusi katikati,lile ni jiwe la chuma na ndio maana kati ni peusi bali pembeni linakoungua ndio kuna mwanga.

Kitu cha kujiuliza na kushukuru Mungu wetu ni kwamba haya majabali hayagongi Dunia kwani mengine ukubwa wake unaweza funika bara la Africa lote!

Early on Monday (Aug. 12), Arizona amateur astronomer Bruce Gary became the first person to pick up Comet ISON since it disappeared in early June. By stacking images acquired by an 11-inch telescope pointing just 6 degrees above the eastern dawn horizon, he succeeded in recording a fuzzy patch of light with a short tail at the comet's predicted position among stars that are as faint as magnitude 16.

Measuring the image, Gary — a retired radio astronomer and atmospheric scientist — came up with a total magnitude of 14.3 ± 0.2. That is at least two magnitudes fainter than most predictions, and more than a thousand times fainter than the dimmest star that can be perceived with the unaided eye.


Gary’s observation does not bode well for ISON’s future performance, experts say.
“That the comet continues to appear as faint as it does implies that its intrinsic brightness (absolute magnitude) is low and that the nucleus is probably small and relatively inactive," said well-known comet observer John Bortle.

Bortle added that, in his opinion, "ISON has no chance of surviving its perihelion, based on my paper 'Post-Perihelion Survival of Comets with Small q' (International Comet Quarterly, Vol. 13, No. 3, July 1991)."

Of course, such forecasts are based on just one set of photographs. During the coming weeks, many other observations of ISON made by amateur and professional astronomers worldwide, as well as by orbiting satellites, will give us a much better assessment of ISON’s chances.

In light of this, Bortle stresses that he is hedging his bets: "I wouldn't fully commit to such until I see some actual visual observations reported."

We here at SPACE.com will have another update on ISON when more of those observations become available at the end of this month, so stay tuned!
