From the tribulation times/...Philip. November 8, 2007 Gen 1:14-15) And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth, and it was so done. STARGAZERS AGLOW OVER COMET'S STUNNING VISIT For more than a century, the comet known as 17P/Holmes has been too shy to shine. It would slip past Earth every seven years with a light so dim, the naked eye couldn't see it. Even astronomers largely ignored its fainter-than-faint, reliably uneventful visits. But when an observer in the Canary Islands looked up into the northeast sky early on the morning of Oct. 24, an object where the dark comet should have been beamed so brightly that he couldn't explain it. Minutes later, the same strange object was spotted from Barcelona, Spain, by another equally bewildered stargazer. In less than 24 hours, Comet 17P/Holmes had intensified so much that its once dark mass resembled a star, prompting a rash of excited sightings across the planet. Then - over the following few days - its brightness multiplied by a million times, making it not only visible to the unaided eye but also one of the most prominent objects in the night sky. The comet also appears much bigger than it normally does, vaulting from imperceptible at first to the same size as Jupiter. In recent days, it's surpassed the giant planet, too, giving night observers in the local area something totally unexpected to see. MARK MALLET COMMENTARY: Signs from the Sky OF INTEREST: The significance of why Comet Holmes has appeared in the Perseus constellation has also raised many questions. In Greek mythology Perseus was the first of the mythic heroes and was credited with killing the Gorgon, Medusa. In the constellation, Perseus is said to be holding the head of Medusa in his left hand and many are stating that Comet Holmes has appeared in the area of Medusa's third eye, signifying an awakening of evil, grief and doom. The comet appeared next to the star Algol, which is considered to be the head of Satan.
