Lucifer's hammer? That it? Sent from my iPhone On Jul 6, 2013, at 7:06 PM, Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com> wrote:
Kitt Peak has confirmed the discovery of a new comet, Hamner-Brown that is out beyond Neptune. It looks to be approaching the Sun next February and the scary part is Kitt is calculating that this may be a impacter with Earth on the way back out. Harvard is listing Hamner-Brown as a 6 right now on the Torrino Scale. Both discoverers are amateurs, Hamner owns a major soap company out of California and Brown is a student in Iowa who ground his mirror and built his own scope. This is one to watch, not for the show, but if impact does occur, it will be devastating.
So, this isn't true but is based on events in a famous Sci-Fi Book. Can anyone name the book?
Also, if you guess correct, please pick an astronomical event from a book or movie and do a reply to this to see if others can guess. If you know your right, then do your post. Hopefully this will be kinda of fun. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
