Cosmic Snowflakes and Earth's Cosmic Blizzard (Re: Mini-comet spotter?) |
What Dr. Frank is most likely talking about as miniature dark-colored comets
are most likely Cosmic Snowflakes. They would not be dark, but are made of
ice crystals and are clear. Water below a certain temperature is stable and
will not sublime even in a vacuum. And the Cosmic Snowflake originate in a
zone of the magnetosphere that promotes growth, actually accumulates water
and grow bigger.
Cosmic Snowflakes are new pristine snow and contain very little, if any,
other material. The presence of Cosmic Snowflakes can be seen through their
impacts on other things, like Teflon/Silver Shielding, Aerogel, coated
(teflon/silver) Aluminum, and glass. A Cosmic Snowflakes model explains the
morphology of these impacts much better than the current ultra high energy
impact that causes less damage, or low speed impact in glass causing bruises
(spider web surface fractures).
Dr. Louis A. Frank's theory that these odd Noctilucent high-altitude clouds
are of a Cosmic Origin would fit nicely with the Cosmic Snowflakes theory
and how they are generated. Generated in Earth Orbit, from Oxygen sent off
in a fountain during Solar Storms to be combined with Hydrogen from the
Solar Wind trapped in the magnetosphere. Heading towards the
Magnetosphere's tail and the Earth's shadow. Where the plasma dynamics of
the Magnetosphere get interesting;

Forming Molecules O-- H+ OH- H2O- H2O+ and water +H2O- which are polarized.
Even ionized Snowflakes with both negative and positive charge. Growing.
1000H2O------ meets 1000H2O+++++++++ yielding a larger more neutral
Snowflake 2000H2O+++. Held in the Cosmic Snowflake growing area (a Blizzard)
by plasma dynamics and becoming more neutral. Plasma Dynamics involving
large ice crystals collecting charge (positive and negative), increasing
mass changing the dynamics, right up to the point where the Plasma Dynamics
becomes the secondary or a high order term in their dynamics, and gravity
becoming the dominate force.
But, even before Gravity becomes the primary force on Cosmic Snowflakes,
it's effects as a secondary higher order term are felt. Every 28 days, as
the Moon orbits the Earth and passing close to the Earth's shadow and the
Cosmic Blizzard, the growing Cosmic Snowflakes are perturbed according to
their mass, moving them within their plasma confined zone, mixing them and
giving them different dynamics within the Magnetosphere's tail. Some,
falling back to Earth, gravity and plasma dynamics being of the same order
of magnitude, they don't rain down on Earth at random.
Clouds formed by charged Cosmic Snowflakes falling to the Earth's poles
during the Summer. Dr. Frank should look for a correlation between the
Lunar cycle (28 days) and the high altitude clouds.

In the 1990 book "The Big Splash" Dr. Louis A. Frank speculated that the
odd Noctilucent high-altitude clouds seen at polar latitudes in summer
were due to miniature dark-colored comets being disrupted as they hit
Earth's gravity field, and depositing ice crystals in the outer
atmosphere. If that's the case (not many think it is), then this could
spot them: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/aim/index.html

I subscribe to David Brin's cometary model: If outgassing is gradual
enough, an insulating mantle accumulates which slows more and more the
loss of inner volatiles.
(While Brin is better known as a science fiction writer, he used to be a
planetary scientist. His model of cometary evolution was his doctoral
thesis.)
The smaller the comet, the greater the surface to volume ratio, and the
tinier the gravity. I believe a miniature comet would have a miniature
life span.
So I'm skeptical of Frank's theory.

In the book (I've got a copy of it) they are supposed to have a thin,
black, hydrocarbon crust over them. Which is why you can't see them
visaully as they come in.
