Heavens Above

And its coming here.

Seems the old girl is in for another brush with meteors today/tonight. We are in the path 3200 Phaeton and its trail of debris, the Geminids. Hundreds of small chunks of the asteroid will pummel our old battle wagon's atmosphere tonight. Many of the chunks won't be much larger than a grain of sand. Also the comet Wirtanen that is sliding through the night's sky and we'll pass through its tail.

Phaeton slides past us and does a ring about the sun, where it gets baked, cracks and begins to fall apart. Its debris following in its wake until pulled down to freshen the chemical make up of our own world.


There seem to be a whole bunch of these rocks flying about these past few days. I don't know? Could it be . . .  I think its time to look up the best way to destroy a boat made of fingernails.
