Was reading H's thread (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=68122) the other day and curious about what the big announcement could be. Didn't have much to do, so thought I'd try to take a photo of what I imagined it could be. C'mon, we've all seen Armageddon!

"A massive comet is heading towards Earth. Somebody get me Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck on the phone!"

PS - wife wasn't too happy that I poured kerosene all over her tennis ball and set fire to it. :)

Oh, how cool is that Troy!!
Brilliant idea.
There's going to be flaming balls everywhere now with peeps trying this out.

This thread is in the wrong section, if it is about Chandra shouldn't it be in the "extra-terrestrial photography" section.:P

Did you pick up the tennis ball and throw it into the air across the road? Then it would really have looked like comet or meteor :D
