Remember this post I did a few days ago about the possibility that Mars will be hit by an asteroid in January 2008? Well, the chance of the asteroid hitting Mars is now increased by 4%! Last week, the asteroid known as nondescript 2007 WD5 had a chance of 1-in -75 to hit Mars but just this week the odds are increased to 1-in-25. Now that is a big chance that Mars will have an impact on January 30, 2008. Exciting? Probably. Some people are actually thrilled or excited while hoping that the cosmic smash happens as predicted. As long as it has no impact to our dear Earth, then it's okay. I don't think those who are excited about this cosmic event will be as excited if the asteroid is actually hitting our home.

Anyway, there are times that I would watch with him and it just never fails to amaze me how beautiful the outer space is. It may not happen in this lifetime, but I know that someday someone will be able to actually go in one of those planets to check it out. As I was browsing Yahoo today, I came across these pictures. They're not new pictures but they are still breathtaking. In the news, they are saying that Mars may just be hit by an asteroid next month, January 30 to be exact. The asteroid, 2007WD5 , is very similar to the one that hit Siberia in 1908 which had the power of a 15-megaton of nuclear bomb thus wiping 60 Million trees!! Wow! Anyway, here's a picture of Mars, the planet that glows. This pic wast taken Dec. 18. This picture is a a binary-star, or two-star, system, called HD 113766. This third picture is Saturn in 3 different views. I...
