My bold.On July 4, 2005, Deep Impact obtained the highest resolution views of a comet nucleus to date. Some 30% of the surface of Tempel 1 was imaged at better than 10 m/pxl. These data revealed several unexpected features including pervasive layering and smooth areas with flow-like characteristics. Several distinct layers ranging from 10 to 200 meters in thickness and of significant lateral extent can be identified. It is likely that some of these layers extend deep into the body of the comet. At least two areas of remarkably smooth terrain are present. The better imaged is an elongated flow-like tongue about 3 km wide, 1 km long and 200 meters thick which displays many characteristics of a down-hill flow emanating from a possible source area only a few hundred meters wide. The detailed characteristics of the layering and smooth areas will be summarized and possible formation models presented. Suggestions of nucleus layering exist in earlier, lower resolution images of both Borrelly and Wild 2. Optimistic viewers may even see suggestions of smooth flows in Deep Space 1 images of Borrelly
That is really laughable ignorance, Sol88 - it is (quite advanced) orbital mechanics that planets migrate backed with observational evidence.Ha ha ha ...snipped even more ignorance....

Planetary migration occurs when a planet or other stellar satellite interacts with a disk of gas or planetesimals, resulting in the alteration of the satellite's orbital parameters, especially its semi-major axis. Planetary migration is the most likely explanation for hot Jupiters, extrasolar planets with jovian masses, but orbits of only a few days. The generally accepted theory of planet formation from a protoplanetary disk predicts such planets cannot form so close to their stars, as there is insufficient mass at such small radii and the temperature is too high to allow the formation of rocky or icy planetesimals. It has also become clear that terrestrial-mass planets may be subject to rapid inward migration if they form while the gas disk is still present. This may affect the formation of the cores of the giant planets (which have masses of the order of 10 Earth masses), if those planets form via the core accretion mechanism.
Yes the flow looks like a flow that we see from known physics, Sol88My bold.
.What does this gibberish mean, Sol88?Works great RC, if indeed you ever find the "Ice"![]()

I am not looking for any "Ice" or "ICE" or even "icE" !
We suggest that the regions of smooth terrain which were observed on Comet 9P/Tempel 1 by the Deep Impact spacecraft were formed by blowing ice grains in an outburst of gas from the comet interior.

planetary migration
Of course this ignorance of orbital mechanics is excusable in someone who does not know that 0.1 is less than 3.0
Open question for you, Sol88 (18th September 2014): is 0.1 less than 3.0?
Electric comets still do not exist! (26th August 2013)
Great pics, pity they look like they were taken with a 320x240 webcam!!!

As usual you have no evidence of any electrical fields and discharges (to make a comet glow), despite all the devices on Rosetta.
I am beginning to consider that you are a troll with no desire to demonstrate that the electric comet theory has any merit whatsoever.
So what are the bright patches in your opinion, RC?
Are there any bright patches Rosetta has spotted?
So we are not back and forth over the same stopping grounds RC, lets come up with a list.
One list that are FACTS according to NASA and the ESA, the other that's still the standard list of EC PREDICTIONS.
THE FACTS (NASA,ESA)
1 Comets are in orbit around the Sun as are our planets.
2 Comets are composed of ices, dust and rocky debris carried from the early formation of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago.
3 Comets are remnants from the cold, outer regions of the solar system. They are generally thought to come from two areas - the Oort Cloud and the Kuiper Belt. Both of these are areas where materials left over from the formation of our solar system have condensed into icy objects. Both regions extend beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto but are still part of our solar system and much closer to us than the closest star.
4 Comet orbits are elliptical. It brings them close to the sun and takes them far away.
5 Short period comets orbit the Sun every 20 years or less. Long period comets orbit the Sun every 200 years or longer. Those comets with orbits in between are called Halley-type comets.
6 Comets have three parts: the nucleus, the coma and the tails. The nucleus is the solid center component made of ice, gas and rocky debris. The coma is the gas and dust atmosphere around the nucleus, which results when heat from the Sun warms the surface of the nucleus so that gas and dust spew forth in all directions and are driven from the comet's surface. The tails are formed when energy from the Sun turns the coma so that it flows around the nucleus and forms a fanned out tail behind it extending millions of miles through space.
7 We see a comet's coma and tail because sunlight reflects off the dust (in the coma and dust tail) and because the energy from the Sun excites some molecules so that they glow and form a bluish tail called an ion tail and a yellow one made of neutral sodium atoms.
8 Scientists have seen comets range in size from less than 1 km diameter to as much as 300 km, although the 300km (called Chiron) does not travel into the inner solar system.
9 We know a comet could impact Earth and that it is important to understand the nature of comets so we can design better methods to protect ourselves from them should one be on a collision path with Earth.
10 A comet nucleus has a dark, sometimes mottled surface but we don't know if it has an outer crust or if it is layered inside. We don't really know what comets are like beneath their surface and that's why we need a mission like Deep Impact.

Just for a start
Just saw a spectrogram of ROSINA with a strong peak at 18 AMU (i.e. H2O water molecules) and only a slight blip at 17 and 16 AMU (i.e. OH and O)
Not only that, apparently they also measure H2(17)O and H2(18)O !!
I just saw on a WebEx session from ESAC a science talk from the Rosetta SWT meeting there, where they showed an OSIRIS image, with the water jets emanating from the surface, and the jets could be traced back to certain surface features.
Obviously you have been spending to much time with the idiots at Thunderbolts who do not even know the density of comets and have been infected by their insane idea that everything is electromagnetic, Sol88And they would not interact electrically whatever first caused them to start migrating, RC??![]()
And once again , Sol88: I, myself and me are not looking for ICE or IcEfrom your quote RC...blowing ice grains..the ICE you keep looking for!!!
!!!
!Actually we have to thank Sol88 for that link to the Thunderbolts electric comet "model" because it shows the craziness that they are willing to believe in. The "model" is laughable that I will quote in in full:So we know you can create copypasta, where is your data to support that ...
Note the last point and the ignorance that both asteroids and comets have elliptical orbitsComets are debris produced during violent electrical interactions of planets and moons in an earlier phase of solar system history—a phase that persisted into early human history. Comets are similar to asteroids, and their composition varies. Most comets should be homogeneous—their interiors will have the same composition as their surfaces. They are simply “asteroids on eccentric orbits”.
• Comets follow their eccentric orbits within a weak electrical field centered on the Sun. They develop a charge imbalance with the higher voltage and charge density near the Sun that initiates discharge and the formation of a glowing plasma sheath—appearing as the coma and tail.
• The observed jets of comets are electric arc discharges to the nucleus, producing “electrical discharge machining” (EDM) of the surface. The excavated material is accelerated into space along the jets’ observed filamentary arcs.
• Intermittent and wandering arcs erode the surface and burn it black, leaving the distinctive scarring patterns of electric discharge. The primary distinction between a comet and an asteroid is that, due to its elliptical orbit, electrical arcing and “electrostatic cleaning” will clean the nucleus’ surface, leaving little or no dust or debris on it.
