It's May 25: Just Another Day, or Rendezvous with Doom?

As the fragments of the comet Schwassmann Wachmann brush past the Earth
today, will there be a major impact?

Hold your breath, say your prayers, and pay up your life insurance for
by the end of this day, those of us who survive will know!

On a spiritual note, this is Ascension Day. It might be good to think
of things spiritual for the next 24 hours as we ponder our fates.

For those of you who have been my friends here in alt.astronomy, I want
to say that it has been good knowing you.

Paine,

Took that towel spool out with me tonight, but high cumulus clouds made
it hard to even see Jupiter itself much less its moons. Will try on a
clearer night.

We seem to be getting our April showers late this year. Chance of rain
again today is 70%.

Looked for any harbinger meteors in the sky as the comet debris field
approaches the Earth, but saw none. Nothing yet!

"The closest fragment will be about six million miles away--or twenty-five
times farther than the Moon."
