TO ALL........On Nov 17...18 this year we are passing directly through the tail of a comet long gone,,,the debris tail remaining contains millions of small particles that SHOWER in on us at the rate of up to 40,000 per hour....when our communication satellites were designed ...this was not taken into consideration....there is increased concern about a potential black out due to this shower...( it occurs once every 32 yrs).......NASA is planning on ATTEMPTING to turn the satellites away from the direct impacts....but...considering the great speed (40+ miles per second...) and the plasma wave generated by impact....NO One quite knows what will happen......SHADES OF L.T....and Jim P.........Thoughts ANYONE ???......Tim
