   MARS COMET: This weekend, Comet Siding Spring (C/2013 A1) will make a   
   historically close approach to Mars.  Satellites and rovers will get an   
   eye-full as the green comet passes less than 140,000 km above the Red Planet's   
   surface. No one knows what will happen.  Possible side-effects of the flyby   
   include a Martian meteor shower and auroras.  More information and amateur   
   images of the comet approaching Mars may be found on today's edition of
