A green beauty Comet named Lulin is now approaching Earth. “Darker skies will show its greenish color better so it’s best to get away from the city lights if you can,” said Dave Reneke, news editor of Australia’s Sky and Space magazine. “No one can say for sure how bright it’ll be because this is Lulin's first visit to the inner solar system.

At closest approach, Comet Lulin will pass by 60 million kilometers from Earth, a long way to most folk but for astronomers used to dealing in larger figures, it’s basically next door.

When we see these comets approaching and leaving earth, we have to remember Allah's saying: (And we have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.).)(Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’-verse32). Despite this miracle and all infinite number of miracles (atmosphere, Gravity…), atheists and disbelievers still deny the existence of Allah almighty.   

Also we have to remember and repeat prophet Mohamed's (peace be upon him) saying when he goes out in the darkness: ("Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to you! (Exalted are you above all that they associate with you as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.)(Sûrat Âl-‘Imrân-verse 191).
