Thank you for these updates Luis! Much appreciated. So very sad.

I love this one. Yes, yes, I know, it is too early but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween

I share your excitement! I do too!!

Four Mile-Wide Comet Headed Towards Sun - 96P/Machholz Makes Closest Approach to Sun Oct. 27

Comet 96P/Machholz or 96P/Machholz 1 is a short-period sungrazing comet discovered on May 12, 1986, by amateur astronomer Donald Machholz. Comet 96P/Machholz last came to perihelion on July 14, 2012, and will next come to perihelion on October 27, 2017. 96P/Machholz has an estimated diameter of around 6.4 km (4.0 mi).

Comet 96P/Machholz will make its closest approach to the Sun, at a distance of 0.12375 AU or 11.5 million miles (18.51 million km).

Blowing like crazy here. So far 52 mph. Waiting for the site I watch to update because I bet it was close to 60

I just found this site as well.....

A NEW THREAT TO THE OZONE LAYER: High above Earth, more than 20 miles above sea level, a diaphanous layer of ozone surrounds our planet, absorbing energetic ultraviolet rays from the sun. It is, essentially, sunscreen for planet Earth. Without the ozone layer, we would be bathed in dangerous radiation on a daily basis.

For more than 30 years, the Montreal Protocol has regulated ozone-destroying chemicals, allowing Earth's ozone holes to heal and shrink. But there's trouble on the horizon. An international team of researchers led by David Oram of the University of East Anglia has found an unexpected, growing danger to the ozone layer from substances not regulated by the treaty.

The danger comes from a class of chemicals known as "chlorocarbons." Dichloromethane is an example. It is used in paint stripping, agricultural fumigation, and the production of pharmaceuticals. Over the past decade dichloromethane became approximately 60% more abundant. "This was a major surprise to the scientific community and we were keen to discover the cause of this sudden increase," says Oram.

Developing economies in East Asia appear to be the source. "Our estimates suggest that China may be responsible for around 50-60% of current global emissions [of dichloromethane], with other Asian countries, including India, likely to be significant emitters as well," says Oram.

Dichloromethane and similar chemicals were not regulated by the Montreal protocol because they were thought to be too short-lived to reach the ozone layer. However, East Asia has a special pattern of circulation that can push these chemicals skyward, very rapidly. It's a two-step process: Cold-air surges in East Asia quickly carry industrial pollution into the tropics. "It is here that air is most likely to be uplifted into the stratosphere (where ozone is located)," says co-author Matt Ashfold of the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.
