The technicality is he is not being paid to do that work.

It's like working for the volunteer fire department.

amateur because it isn't his profession, people wrongly think skill levels define if you are a professional or not. in real terms you are only a professional when most of you earnings come from it and doesn't reflect skill however in most cases the professionals have more skill but this isn't always the case.

@@yuzu54o Dear, about comet 12p pon...the horned comet. is there any chance we see it with naked eyes? and my lifetime question about comets: is there any threat for Earth if Earth locates inside a comet's tail? thank you so much for helping human beings...

@@Strangesounds2012 On your last question i definetely can answer: The tail of a comet is very much like fine dispersed dirty snow. The particle sizes of that tail are very small. A millimeter or so. Cant be bigger - if it would be bigger, the comet would desintegrate with one approach to the sun. Because the tail is millions of kilometers long, a particle size of more than one millimeter, would mean a very big mass. But comets doesnt have that big mass. So from that its easy to say: even when the earth gets into the comets tail , there is nothing to fear. In fact it would be a lucky case, because it would mean a lot of (not dangerous) shooting stars in the nightsky (when those small particles hit the atmosphere and glow for a moment). In fact, thats the reason for the shooting star shower in early august (perseids). Its because a comet left its tail in the earth orbit - and every year the earth is going through that left over tail of that comet. There is absolutely no danger in that. Its almost like earth would fly through a snowflake-cloud in space. As for your question about the comet 12p ... i dont know. I dont know that comet yet. Maybe Nishimura, or someone other can answer on that. My guess is: that its probably not visible with naked eye , otherwise it would have been made bigger news.

Civic duty needs to be unearthed and unleashed, but you have a vision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trivia is painless?

Hi. 🙂 Could you plz elaborate at what you mean by you might take a try at this one?

Same here in Michigan!

Are you sure that isn’t Venus? I’ve been seeing something out my bathroom window,that direction,in the wee hours…but,tree leaves are kinda in the way….

@@toneenorman2135 I don't think it is because it appeared this week and is getting brighter every day. It's on my way to work, I usually leave around 4:50 AM which is around the time it can be visible. It's the only thing I see in that part of the sky as far as stars are concerned. It also grows dimmer as the sun rises too. I might wake up tomorrow morning and get a video of it and post on my channel. I'll let you guys decide and debate. I head ENE towards work. The object in question is facing at me a little towards the left as I drive to work.

I’ve been seeing something out of place the past 4 days in north east Indiana

Something is in the East. Very bright. What confusing is that it doesn’t move all night. The moon is by this earlier,then around 4am the moon is gone but the bright light is still there. Like a very bright planet,but,not moveing🤷‍♀@@knowbody2362

I am in E Tennessee and I have been seeing it, I believe it’s getting bigger

Hyakutate came and went quickly around the same time. It stretched across 1/3 the sky and was incredible. Hale-Bopp was not nearby as impressive.

Sure was! It was spectacular.

@@georgewashington7444 are you sure about that? Hale-Bopp could be seen for a few months. Far more impressive than the other one.

Bennett in 1972 was great too.

Same here! I'll never forget how bright that was, it was amazing.

@@hm5142 I missed that one, wasn't born yet, but I'm sure it was an experience you never forget, as I have that myself with Hale-Bopp

Comet Hale-Bopp was ridiculously bright. I remember seeing it in the light polluted skies of Toronto. But Comet Hyakutake, OMG... that was GORGEOUS!! Two Great comets *_AND_* SL-9 that plunged into Jupiter in a span of about 2 years. 🤯

@@nicholashylton6857 That’s right! It was 2 different comets, in 96 & 97 my brain just made them both Hale-Bopp, lol. I was in high school and those comets really changed my life view, I started believing in a higher power and realizing how amazing our universe really is. I will always treasure those comets. I’m greedy though, I want to see another naked eye comet 😀 ☄️

You should have seen, Comet Ikeya-Seki, in 1968-'69. It was truly spectacular! I graduated High School, just a few months later; and I was privileged to see it.

...I had a love affair with Hale-Bopp, after I put the kids to bed, I would go out on the deck and just stare at the sky

I was just a kid I remember seeing it but wasnt remotely bothered about it how I wish I could go back and say to myself just look at it you little fool haha

Hi i have a question do you love space?

I'm also in upstate NY, 45 miles N of Albany on I-87. Rural, Dark Skies. If I had a good telescope, there's a perfect viewing area nearby. ☄️🔭👁

V​@@georgebranchaud2041⁰

Looking forward to seeing this as well. We live in between Syracuse and Albany very rural area . Skies are beautiful at night.

I have already saw

Astronomy is his hobby, so by definition he's not a professional.

Tried again from Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Clear skies, but Moon is still too bright, even with binoculars. Plus, it's getting lower in the east.

blue moon happens tomorrow

@@sniperkelv is it tomorrow, thank you so much :)

Lol hope u get a selfie with the comet.😇

@@Shi-Pu-Den im not sure is it possible but thank you :3

The moon will not be blue, wake up.... Blue Moon means 2 full moons in one month, it does not change colour

Thank you, We will :)

I was 18 when Halley's Comet visited back in 1986, and it was a sight to behold and more so since it will next visit earth in 2061.

I saw it in what I’m guessing is an open vision because I SAW it in the sky, but knew it wasn’t IT, but rather IT would be seen sometime before the rapture.

Amazing and exciting times, dear sisters!! The days and weeks ahead are major high watch!!! Even so, Maranatha 🙏🎺✈️

😂😂😂😂😂

@@cdye7003there is no rapture. Don’t be fooled and unnecessarily lead to your death.

Is it the one that's going to hit the Earth? And also 2 years ago I was told in my dream that the LORD is returning..as in.."NOW" That urgency and also told we mankind has a missing years, because someone or somebody miscalculated the actual years in the past.

You mean all the automated systems that missed it? If you're being sarcastic then yes :))))

Good luck on spotting any mass extinction meteor

Do we really want to know if there is an extinction causing event coming???

@@letshunt8992 Yes because you’d be able to stop it, depending on circumstances

@@Transilvanian90 …..I’m saying an extinction causing event not a potential extinction causing event. Different things.

Hi i have a question do you love space?

@@XX-nz8jc absolutely

Northeast before sunrise right now. However on the Southern Hemisphere, this comet is only 16 deg above the sun and is very hard to see. What makes it worse is it is closing on the the sun's Az Alt. On 9 Sep, it will rise at the same time as the sun and will be impossible to see. Then it turns into the twilight side but remains very close the the sun until it's gone. In short words, probably not for the Southern Hemisphere.

@@serena-yu thanks 😁

@@serena-yu Bad news for us in the Southern Hemisphere, but thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

@@serena-yu Sothern Hemisphere here thanks for the info

I'm not sure what I saw two nights ago. I was looking through binoculars at the stars. And I saw what looked like a star moving west from where I was looking. I thought it was a plane, but there were no flashing lights of a plane. There was no colored tail. It was just a white dot, looked like all the other stars through my binoculars, but it was not moving all that fast. I was thinking may be a comet, but they have tails. Then I thought, a satellite? But I've never seen one of those to compare it to. I believe it was around 12:30/1:00 am Eastern time. And it was pretty high up there. It was moving toward the big dipper.

I am not an astronomer, I believe the retrograde comments are not from the stellar cloud which our sun was formed. No research done by my thought just a guess

@@fnowat So that cloud must have been turning retrograde compared to the actual solar system, but that would hardly get an explalation (humans would relate to). A huge magnetic pole shift or something similar would be required, like some occurance that would had brought Nemesis, the sun's twin away from the solar system, since most observed star systems evolve in pairs.

It depends upon what gases are forming the plasma tail.

Technically Hyakutake was far closer than Hale-Bopp. In fact, Hyakutake having passed so close to our planet is the only reason why Hyakutake became brilliant enough to be counted among the greats. Hale-Bopp, meanwhile passed perihelion far from Earth and well-above the planetary orbital plane. However, it had a very large nucleus and was extremely active for a comet. Hence Hale-Bopp became a Great comet as well. The funny thing about those two comets is that Hale-Bopp was discovered before Hyakutake was, but Hyakutake reached perihelion and became brilliant first.

Oh, it CAN be topped. By the last one you see, if you're unlucky.

His skills certainly are professional, but he is an amateur.

What are you on about ?

It indeed is strange. But I'm worried about the "blazing mountain" that falls into the ocean. Is this "IT"!!? I heard underground "rumours" that "IT" will come from a blind spot too. Whatever the case is,we shall know by September. Hold on tight.

Nishimura means "Western Village" And you sir, are a class A d02ch3b4g...

@@forgivenhallelujah nah... I'm not talking about the obvious biblical verses, I'm aware of that nonsense. I'm talking about the confused affirmations this person is making. "It has bearly been moving for thousands of years" "Suddenly, without no explanation it start to move in 2017" Is it moving or isn't it? Nearly the speed of light? Define "nearly", because anything below 90% is not "nearly" and considering it was discovered when it was only about 1 A.U. from earth, Mr. Mishimura wouldn't have been able to even focus on it and assuming he could, it would have gone past us within about 10 minutes, long before he could ever tell anyone about it. By the way that comet is moving at 0,0003% the speed of light.

@@ThaG001 lmao i was starting to wonder if there was something i didnt know about going on here. My mind instantly went to aliens. If i was an alien id disquise my ship as an asteroid.

Actually Tommorow is the blue moon

I thought it hilarious that when mentioning the blue moon, the image was actually blue.

Listen to what he says.... probably not!!

No, only for the next few weeks, as the video said.

@@scotte4765 when is the eclipse

We did several times since then. One example is comet Hale-Bopp back in 1997 to 1998. I remember seeing it back then from the Etosha Park here in Namibia

That was Hale-Bopp, not Halley. Halley's last perihelion passage was in early 1986, wheras Hale-Bopp was visible from 1996-1997. Also, Hyalutake preceeded Hale-Bopp in mid-1996.

The difference is he is solely motivated by love, soggy dirty space rock love.

Amateur just means that it is not his job, basically.

Maybe he doesn't get paid for his Astronomy

😊😊

Lol amateur astronomer must be hobby to observe things in the sky.

Amateur means it is not his profession, he doesn’t get paid for being an astronomer. It does not mean he is less skilled or knowledgeable than a professional.

What's wrong with this picture is that the world spends thousands of times more money on military and wars than scientific research. We could probably be an interplanetary species by now, the problem is, do the people in power want that?

Yup.

@@SootyS-wg4lm 👍 Thank you for agreeing.

Yes..you are thinking right..in your right mind.i admire that, let me reward you.a "blazing mountain" will hit the ocean in the Atlantic ( some people know the exact location,and the time,but not the date,I know too) and it will come from a "blind spot" ,a part of the sky nobody's watching. So I'm kinda worried if this comet is "IT" or just a diversion.. we shall know by September. You have every reason to laugh and call me crazy but let me tell you something that you don't know... Do you know why the world went into LOCKDOWN because of "COVID"!? The lockdown is a trailer run. And Oh.. the government worldwide knows about the incoming "IT".

Oh calm down. Everyone in the comments is crying about the automated systems not picking this up instantly. Looking for moving bodies like comets or asteroids is like finding a needle in a hay stack. The amateur astronomer just got super lucky to be looking in the right place at the right time to find something before automated systems. It's so far away it would have been spotted at some point when it's a tad brighter/closer. Either way, if there is a monster asteroid or comet heading straight for Earth, we won't be able to do much anyways.

Most people don't have a clue about astronomy, so it hardly counts what they think. A comet as bright as Polaris is really impressive and in the video it's stated it will probably be much brighter. Didn't you watch the whole thing before you wrote that comment?
