A Haymaker From Shoemaker Scientists from around the planet got reminded of how little they know and how powerful and unpredictable space out there can be. There are many UNKNOWNS an even the KNOWNS are not sure things. The Larousse Enclyclopedia of Astronomy says, "The perfect timing and positioning required to make the possibility of a collision between a meteor and planet in our solar system extremely slight." Slight came home to roost in 1994. Few are aware of what happened out there in space in 1994. Who cares! For the record Jupiter was struck by a massive barrage of meteors from the comet Shoemaker-Levy. The comet somehow broke up when it encountered the Jovian gravatational field. You do remember this, right? It was in July of 1994 that the pieces (some 1.5 miles long) came into Jupiters space and the game of destruction was on. Good thing there's no life there, as here. As scientists watched from around the globe some 21 fragments of Shoemaker-Levy layed a haymaker on old Jupiter. Attacking at more than 306,000 miles an hour (who can fathom such?) the impact shot flames into the amosphere several thousand miles high. Can you grasp such a thing? Fireballs as large as the earth itself exploded and were monitored and seen from the Hubble space telescope. Gas bubbles large enough to swallow our earth still exist. Jupiter is still smarting. But so much for Jupiter as the point I want to make and remind us of is that we're not as sure about what might lurk out there as we'd like to think. And it behooves us to spend some of our life pondering what life is all about, both from the past and future, but bringing everyhting into the NOW. That which scientists didn't think could happen in 1994 did. Now, what is it that scientists think can't happen in 2012, or 2010 for that matter. Since we are spirit beings, we need to live more of our life in that consciousness which is eternal, timeless, and the immaterial essence of who we are. There is more to lie than what you see in the mirror. Much more!
