Satellites and rovers will get an eye-full as the green comet passes less than 140,000 km above the Red Planet's surface. No one knows what will happen. Possible side-effects of the flyby include a Martian meteor shower and auroras. More information and amateur images of the comet approaching Mars may be found on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com Regards, Roger --- D'Bridge 3.99 * Origin: NCS BBS - Houma, LoUiSiAna (1:3828/7) .
