An amateur astronomer has discovered a bright green comet dive-bombing toward the inner solar system. The emerald-colored object will slingshot around the sun in less than a month, when it could become visible to the naked eye — but anyone with decent backyard gear may be able to see it now.
The new comet, dubbed SWAN25F, was discovered April 1 by Australian amateur astronomer Michael Mattiazzo, who noticed the comet in photos captured by the SWAN camera on the European Space Agency's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, according to Spaceweather.com.

~~Two 7,000-year-old mummies from the Takarkori rock shelter in the Sahara have been found to be from a group with a previously unknown ancestry.
~~ DNA analysis of the mummies, which are the remains of female herders from a time when the Sahara was more humid and known as the Green Sahara, did not show the expected Sub-Saharan genes.
~~The Takarkori individuals are most closely related to other North African peoples who diverged from Sub-Saharan populations long before.
~~ "We Are NOT Alone, And We've NEVER Been Alone"~~
~ Whether You Believe It Or NOT, Makes NO Difference ~ They ARE Here ~ Get Use To It.~
