Comet Atlas
First off, I have to thank Jim for bringing this to my attention. In fact, other than from Jim, I have not heard a single thing about this comet. It was discovered in late December....for whatever that means.I have been kinda watching things on a daily basis as more and more information becomes available about it. What they say about it, as it become closer and closer to our sun, it is melting more and more. This is a comet, it is ice. So, as it heats up, it melts. Scientists say that the more it melts, the more light it will reflect, being easier to see in space.
The ancients feared comets...claiming they bring disease and destruction.
Now, this is where I start wondering a bit...because, I am no scientist and I am no astrologer.
But, the way I read about this comet, it will becoming near Earth.
Even if there is no physical collision from the hard physical form of the comet, is it possible the Earth could pass through the plume that is being melted off it? If so, is the Earth going to just pass through water vapors (because comets are reported to be frozen ice)...or....is there a possibility that some microbes may exist in this plume?
From what I understand, asteroids are somewhat able to be detected where it comes from...because we have a asteroid belt around us. But comets on the other hand come from deep space...and from what I understand, scientists don't know where they come from. Like I mentioned earlier, this comet was reported to be just discovered in December.
Anyway....just some thoughts here.
Thanks Jim.
Happy Saturday all.

I might be watching too many episodes of Ancient Aliens.
I think you are right johnny.
I was just actually looking for something to listen to while I was working. I will pop on your link right now.
Thanks.

The Russian word for Wormwood is Chernobyl (as in the Nuclear Power Plant that melted down in the Soviet Union on April 26, 1986) A number of Bible scholars consider the term Wormwood to be a purely symbolic representation of the bitterness that will fill the earth during troubled times, noting that the plant for which Wormwood is named, Artemisia ...
There is some evidence, that asteroids, or asteroid like objects were actually the original source of water to earth. Originally, the molten earth was much too hot to contain water.
From Wikipedia;
The origin of water on Earth is the subject of a body of research in the fields of planetary science, astronomy, and astrobiology. Earth is unique among the rocky planets in the Solar System in that it is the only planet known to have oceans of liquid water on its surface. Liquid water, which is necessary for life, continues to exist on the surface of Earth because the planet is at a distance far enough from the Sun that it does not lose its water to the runaway greenhouse effect, but not so far that low temperatures cause all water on the planet to freeze.
Earth could not have condensed from the protoplanetary disk with its current oceans of water because the early inner Solar System was far too hot for water to condense. Instead, water and other volatiles must have been delivered to Earth from the outer Solar System later in its history. Modern geochemical evidence suggests that water was delivered to Earth by impacts from icy planetesimals similar in composition to modern asteroids in the outer edges of the asteroid belt.
Interesting a out how scientists theorize how water got here...
and that together with what String is saying about the Bible....
can that equal aliens?
I know String...I am watching too much.
But that ain't the way I hear'd it ...
The origin of Comets, Asteroids, Meteors & such ...
This looks interesting.
Rocky Jones Space Rangers ...
What the Hell! Vena's kinda Hot & drives a Cool car ...
latest reports are its just a giant snowball
