1 Year Old Earthing Travels 4.5 Billion Miles in One Year! Besides a permanent contribution to the atmosphere of Mars and possible other effects still looming for the Red Planet we are just now understanding, we all watched in the rear-view mirror as this hyperbolic Comet caught up with our Solar System and weaved an almost lethal path through the Inner Solar System planets. Not only does it blow our minds Comet C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) passed us by at 35 miles per second (56 km), as it appears to have originated from the Columba constellation where our System came from also, or our solar antapex, but that it enveloped Mars with its coma it was sooo close (80,000 km or 1/3rd the distance between the Moon and Earth). Moreover, this is not where "Oort Cloud" comets generally originate either! Comet Siding Spring is a show-and-tell lesson of Earth's fatal encounters with comets in the past, and humanity is privileged to have this lesson as it is now being called a 1 in 8 million opportunity. Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hitting Jupiter and Comet Siding Spring swallowing Mars with its coma show us comet interactions, and asteroids also for that matter, are frequent when cast before a celestial time table as this video explains. Like Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON) was in a category of its own as the only known "hyperbolic sundiver", the hyperbolic C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) is now in a category of its own also, showing us that hyperbolic comets do not play by the rules of our Solar System. They come and go as they please and originate from all around us and not necessarily from some "Oort Cloud." Hyperbolic comets ARE in a category of their own and have a unique calling in the Universe. They are distinct and add to the evidence of facts about comets that show us comet theory is now being rewritten. What does this all tells us about our own fate here on Earth? Thanks for watching and especially commenting and subscribing. Image and music credits at end. This is video #5 in the videos devoted to Comet Siding Springs and its Mars Encounter in 2014.
