So the big news is that a comet will come near Earth in 2013 and put on a spectacular show for all to enjoy.  This is no doomsday prediction, or prophecy, this is the real deal, and with no threat to our planet.  It's something to look forward to and will be certain to send shock-waves of interest. Here's a bit from the article : By the end of summer it will become visible in small telescopes and binoculars. By October it will pass close to Mars and things will begin to stir. The surface will shift as the ice responds to the thermal shock, cracks will appear in the crust, tiny puffs of gas will rise from it as it is warmed. The comet's tail is forming. Slowly at first but with increasing vigour, as it passes the orbit of Earth, the gas and dust geysers will gather force. The space around the comet becomes brilliant as the ice below the surface turns into gas and erupts, reflecting the light of the Sun. Now Ison is surrounded by a cloud of gas called the co...

These shooting stories have lost their novelty but they haven't lost their apparent impact.  Or have they?   It seems like the first thing I read about this story raised the same flags we just put down.  So how far can you take it before being taken to a mental institution to get your head checked.  The media has made the people in my family ragers for a long long time, but this was just a perfect December story. Mind you, I usually get the outlandish (and downright horrifying) initial news break.  I usually get them on the radio. Which then quickly shifts to top stories on Yahoo, Drudgereport (and Drudge!) and a couple other looks into the mainstream news.  This then gives way to some of the message boards and comment threads, which inevitably leads to Youtube, and downwards to the lowlifes (my friends) on social networks. Well as the facts are trickling in (BTW, you'll notice at a somewhat slower pace than other 2012 shootings and "out there...

That's right folks.  You can save yourself from the upcoming apocalypse by taking a trip to the wonderfully spacious, and allegedly apocalypse-friendly vacation pyramid in Serbia.  Reservations for Mount Rtanj is filling up, so pick up the phone now! From an ABC report : Their theory is that Mt Rtanj's pyramidal structure which rises 5,400 feet (1.656 meters) in the Serbian Carpathian Mountains was shaped by aliens many thousands of years ago, and that it will radiate a force field that will protect everyone in its vicinity from the end-of-the-world disaster.  The legend has drawn hundreds from the region as well as Austrians, French as well as Australians. There are several problems for these fear-filled folks, including the fact that so many have flocked to Rtanj that hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts are booked solid and overflowing.

Well, there's no business like the UFO business!  Now San Francisco chimes in with a video that shows a light formation over the city's Mission District. Uber good or uber lame?

A lot of us are relieved because the Leonid's was an awful letdown. Geminid peaks on Thursday, December 13, so get that telescope out and stare at the sky later this week!
