Comet Might Strike Mars

Luke 21:25,26 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

In the midst of tracking two comets that will come close to earth in 2014, scientists have discovered a new comet whose trajectory could put it in line to smash into Mars.

The comet, C/2013 A1, is believed to have originated from the Oort Cloud, a region hypothesized from by scientists to be around our solar system containing the nuclei necessary to create comets. The trajectory of the C/2013 A1 is expected to bring it into Mars’ orbit on October 19, 2014.

NASA hasn’t confirmed the comet will strike the planet but admitted it is a possibility.

Two comets will pass Earth’s orbit within the year. PANSTARRS will pass March 6th through 8th at 100 million miles. It will return March 10th through the 12th.

Comet ISON will pass Earth in November. Both will be visible although ISON will be brighter and higher in the sky.
