A String of Pearls is what they are calling this extraordinary comet that began to break into peices in 1995. There is now a string of comet
fragments spread out over a distance of nearly 2 million miles. These fragments are forecast to pass within 8 million miles of Earth between May 12
and May 14. This is the closest that a comet has come to the Earth in 20 years. The comet is now less than 45 million miles away and closing the gap
at the rate of about 1 million miles per day. In 1995, there were 5 fragments of this originally 1.1 kilometer diameter comet that were tracked. They
were labelled 73P-A, B, C, D & E. This year as the comet approaches, there are now fragments labelled up to the letter N.

March 24, 2006: In 1995, Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 did something unexpected: it fell apart. For no apparent reason, the comet's nucleus
split into at least three "mini-comets" flying single file through space. Astronomers watched with interest, but the view was blurry even through
large telescopes. "73P" was a hundred and fifty million miles away.
We're about to get a much closer look. In May 2006 the fragments are going to fly past Earth closer than any comet has come in more than twenty
years.
"This is a rare opportunity to watch a comet in its death throes—from very close range," says Don Yeomans, head of NASA's Near Earth Object
Program at JPL.

What makes this comet even more interesting is the fact that they are forecast to pass within 5 million miles of Earth just 16 years from now. With
the unknown trajectory of the many fragments and the cloud of comet dust that is being created, it is hard to tell what effect this will have in May
of 2022.
One possibility is that the cloud of comet dust and fragments could pass between the Earth and Sun causing the Sun's light appear as through a course
cloth. The resulting refraction of light could cause the Moon to appear red.
This is foretold by John, The Apostle in Revelation Chapter 6. Whether this is the comet that brings this event or not, I cannot tell, but the event
is foretold and a broken comet is the likely cause of the event.
