Not sure what you found interesting?

Yeah maybe? I am reluctant to offer a guess however I was wondering whether it was supposed to be the rain of fireballs (massive shooting stars) arriving?

Hopefully Martin will have some scientific esplaintion for us soon. Stay tuned

I think not , but your guess is as good as mine. Those comets are said to hit Earth at speed something like 30- 40 km per second ! I am surprised they could EVEN see the stars for many years/decades /centuries even. Perhaps the headless body at the bottom was a posthumous tribute to the original astronomer ? He only had to catch a little spec fragment at that speed to take his head clean off!

Making up fantastic fringe history stories for a craving mass market, is a very serious business!

Very very sad. IMO It will take a major catastrophe to change our attitude and not serve the almighty dollar!
Even then maybe, it is built in to human nature and any survivors would stuff it up all over again?
