References to a comet in the prophecies of [[Nostradamus]] seem to be as a harbinger of global disaster—war, famine, disease. It was understood as being wholly malevolent. The sense of malevolence comes because we do not understand that karma returns to us as lessons that we must learn in our personal lives and on a planetary scale.

== Halley’s Comet ==
== Comets and epidemics ==
 
In modern times, Fred Hoyle, an astrophysicist, and Chandra Wickramasinghe, an astronomer, have argued that all infectious diseases—from plagues to the common cold—were originally brought from deep space by comets and transferred to earth by micrometeorites.
 
They believe that a comet was responsible for the influenza epidemic of 1918 to 1919, which killed 30 million people. Although the scientific community almost uniformly disagrees with this assertion, science writer Robert Kunzig points out that “there is probably more support now than ever before for the idea that the organic precursors of life—not life itself but its building blocks, or maybe the building blocks of the building blocks—could have been brought to Earth by comets early in the planet’s history.”<ref>Robert Kunzig, “Stardust Memories: Kiss of Life,” ''Discover'', March 1988, p. 68.</ref>
 
Scientists have discovered amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, both in interstellar space and in meteorites. Kunzig points out that scientists now agree that “comets contain supertanker-loads of organic material and that at least some of that material was probably produced in interstellar space.”<ref>Ibid., p. 74.</ref>
 
Astronomers are continually discovering new comets. And according to ''Science News'', “Swarms of tiny comets are hurtling through the solar system and bombarding earth at the incredible rate of 10 million comets per year.”<ref>“Comet Controversy Caught on Fire,” ''Science News'', 28 May 1988, p. 340.</ref>
 
If comets are indeed carriers of bacteria and [[viruses]] to the earth and have been responsible for outbreaks of disease, then the degradation of the human immune system in the coming years may be more serious than anyone imagines.
 
== Comets as harbingers of good ==
 
Not all comets may be harbingers of evil, however.
 
In November of 1572 a star flashed out of the constellation Cassiopia, startling the world. Brighter than [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]], it was clearly visible even in the light of day. Many who saw it reported that this “guest star,” as the comet was called, had a remarkable similarity to the luminous star that guided the magi—the Bethlehem star. Its coming amazed the world.
 
But while astronomers were baffled by its appearance, the great Swiss mystic-physician [[Paracelsus]] had prophesied the coming of the special star more than a century earlier, calling it a “harbinger of a great renovation of society.”
 
“There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed,” he said. “The comet will announce the presence of a marvellous being who as yet lives not but who will reveal many things.” This “marvellous being” would be a master of all arts, and would come bringing three treasures for mankind, gifts that would change the face of the world.<ref>Mrs. Henry Pott, ''Francis Bacon and His Secret Society'' (Kessinger Publishing’s Rare Mystical Reprints), pp. 230–31.</ref>
 
This prophecy by Paracelsus, delivered in the fifteenth century, foretelling a “renovation of society,” came at an unlikely time, for even into the sixteenth century, men neither knew nor desired to know more than was to be learned from Aristotle; a strange thing at any time. Learning had practically come to a standstill. And scientific experimentation was virtually nonexistent, except in the alchemical laboratories of the mystics.
 
But with the sudden appearance of the comet in Cassiopia in 1572, Europe exploded with geniuses. Historian Alfred North Whitehead, in his book ''Science and the Modern World'', has referred to a ferment of ideas which were initiated with the sudden intellectual revolution of the sixteenth century which, he says,
 
<blockquote>... bequeathed formed systems of thought touching every aspect of human life. It is the one century which consistently, and throughout the whole range of human activities, provided intellectual genius adequate for the greatness of its occasions. The crowded stage of this hundred years is indicated by the coincidences which mark its literary annals.<ref>Alfred North Whitehead, ''Science and the Modern World'' (London: Cambridge University Press, 1953), p. 398.</ref></blockquote>
 
One of the interesting “coincidences” of that century was that the coming of this “star,” “harbinger” of the great revolution, coincided exactly with the dawning of a century of genius in science and literature, which, Whitehead clearly believes, was initiated by “the greatest of mankind,” Sir [[Francis Bacon]] of England. Francis was twelve years old when the comet dawned.

=== Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock ===


Comet IRAS-Araki-Alcock passed within 3 million miles of earth the week of May 8–15, 1983, making it the second closest comet to enter this solar system in recorded history. (The closest, Comet Lexell, passed within 1.5 million miles of the planet in 1770.) Traveling at about 64,800 mph, IRAS is thought to be composed of frozen dust and gases and believed to have originated in the deep freeze of outer space beyond the orbit of Pluto.

=== An unnamed comet ===
[[Sanat Kumara]] spoke of a comet that passed through the solar system in October 1962:
<blockquote>A comet of light has passed through the solar system this day, so rapidly that none of the astronomers from the outer level of consciousness were able to apprehend its passage. Its tail comprised a beautiful pink radiance, and the radiance of that comet of light was the [[secret love star]] from the [[Great Central Sun]]. It trailed its great clouds of glory throughout the entire solar body, and it brought us all a blessing wafted through the solar highways and penetrating the core of every tiny atom as well as the giant suns in this system of worlds. I mention it in passing, not expecting your outer minds to comprehend it, but to show forth and to signify to man that the mark of cosmic dimensions is constantly expanding. By the power of the solar flame, the divine intent and radiance is becoming manifest.<ref>{{MR1}}, chapter 20.</ref></blockquote>
