"Mysteries are due to secrecy."
-Francis BaconOn December 24, 2007, the website
Space.com published a report entitled, "
The Enduring Mysteries of Comets." The premise is intriguing, since it is rare for science media to acknowledge that "mysteries" of any real significance exist for conventional theories. Unfortunately, the report mentions few of the recent discoveries that have thrown the popular "dirty snowball" model of comets into disarray.
"We have now had four close encounters with comets, and every one of them has thrown astronomers onto their back foot." -Stuart Clark,
New Scientist, September 09, 2005.
Comment: This is rather interesting, especially in light of the recent UFO sighting in UK where a strange object was photographed hovering over two cargo ships.
