Re 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of
the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.

    Interesting to note the HCN associated with Hale Bopp. (Cough cough)

    Something  that has been on the backburner of my mind, something
    I noticed in news reports that has not been discussed here is another
    item of interest, to me at least. So, I'll conjecture...

     If I were of a super race of 'beings' and I was intent on exploring
     planets in a solar system, I would want to know certain things before
     I exposed myself to possible intelligent life forms. I would need
     some sort of high energy scanner, broadband, that would be able
     to elicit useable data from the planets I wish to know more about
     before I venture too close. As I know how easy it is to map out the
     structure of atoms, it would seem that a like device would suffice
     to map out organic molecules with the main difference being that such
     a device would need to be sent ahead in the form of a probe.

     A probe like that would of course needs be disguised so that any
     intelligent and outward looking life forms would not notice too
     closely.  The probe would have to appear to be a natural object.
     The only danger would be that if there were sufficiently intelligent
      life forms around and they were advanced enough technologically,
      they may be able to detect the scanning signals. So, just in case
      of that I would think it prudent to select not so wide a bandwidth
      and perhaps push it up beyond the ultraviolet in hopes that no=20
      detection would be likely.

      Of particular interest to me would be the spectra and temperatures
      of any planet that should be much, much hotter owing to it's close
      proximity to the central sun in a given solar system. My probe would
      need to make a very close, but not too close flyby of such a planet.
      I would suspect that large amounts of water and cool temperatures
      would indeed be an indicator of general life forms.

     Back to reality... Has anyone heard of anything that might fit
     the conjectured probe described above lately?

     I have!
