There is a great deal of
noise circulating the newsrooms surrounding the arrival of comet
"C/2002 V1". There is good reason it should be.
First I want to bring attention
to the SOHO (solar and heliospheric observatory) photos made available
by Nasa and JPL. It appears there may have been a grave mistake,
or another cover up by the United States Space Agencies. First
take a look at the photo which is circulating the internet.

Note: when viewing the
SOHO photos, remember to reverse the east and west limbs. This
does not affect north and south.
You can see comet "C/2002
V1" coming in from the north and coming around the western limb.
As the comet heads down towards the western side, we see a tremendous
CME (coronal mass ejection) explode from the Sun, directly towards
the comet. No one disputes this fact. However, what we
can see clearly in this next photo is the photo had been turned
upside down.
That's right, upside down.

This means the CME is directly
Earth bound. If this is correct, watch for sudden windstorms to
occur. Also watch for huge and spectacular Aurora's which may
come down to 35 degree's latitude. Keep an eye on the Kp index
and GOES for spikes in geomagnetic flux. http://www.maj.com/sun/noaa.html
Now, lets consider the
size of this comet. I had to take a double look when I located
the diameter of comet "C/2002 V". It is approximately 176,000
miles across. This is twice the size of Jupiter. Twenty two times
the size of Earth. Remember, the size of the last known "planet
buster" asteroid 65 million years ago was about 6 miles in diameter.
Any celestial orb 1 kilometer or (.6 miles) is considered a great
danger to Earth. This would mean even a small particle from the
tail of this comet could be devastating.
I do not believe there
is any danger of a near miss, however, there is no doubt in my
mind, a celestial orb of this size coming into our solar system
will have an effect on ever planet. Just what that will be, no
one in the science community really knows.
This story is only beginning
to develop. I believe some of our astronomy colleagues will be
coming forward with new information in the coming days. Hmm, nothing
like a war to distract a person looking to the sky's. But perhaps
this surge of energy we witnessed last Friday will continue. Perhaps
an invasion of Iraq can be avoided, while at the same time safety
of all counties can be secure. Again, only time will tell how
this plays out.

Thought For The Day
There
are four parts to the Dalai Lama’s practice. "First remember that
we all want the same thing: to avoid suffering and find happiness.
Second, begin each day with five minutes of "compassionate breathing":
"Breathe in cherishing of the self; breathe out cherishing of
others." Third, extend that compassion throughout the day. He
said, "Everyone is my teacher." And finally, no matter what happens,
stay in the practice. Be faithful to it even when you don’t see
results. "Tell everyone you know about it."
