the hopi blue star:comets, supernovae, and the coming catastrophe
gary a. david

throughout history comets have been the harbingers of doom, civil wars, assassinations, and political unrest. the first century roman historian and naturalist pliny the elder described these celestial phenomena by using the term crinitae "... as if shaggy with bloody locks, and surrounded by bristles like hair." [the natural history of pliny,http://books.google.com/] they frequently bring "disaster," dis- meaning "apart" or "asunder" and aster meaning "star."

between october 23 and 24, 2007, another “hairy star” named comet 17p/holmes literally exploded from a magnitude of 17 to a magnitude of 2.8. (the lower the magnitide, the brighter the star.) in other words, it increased in brightness by a factor of a nearly a million in just a few hours. sky and telescope magazine has called it "the weirdest new object to appear in the sky in memory."
