Hours after a Nasa probe crashed into Comet Tempel 1, legal reverberations were felt in a Moscow court. A case which could see Nasa pay a local amateur astrologist millions of dollars in damages.
Writer Marina Bay claims that by slamming the probe into the comet, Nasa endangered the future of civilisation.
“Nobody has yet proven that this experiment was safe,” says Ms Bay’s lawyer Alexander Molokhov.
“This impact could have altered the orbit of the comet, so now there is a chance that the Tempel may well destroy the Earth some day!”
However, even if the comet stays at a safe distance from Earth, Ms Bay’s own life, she thinks, will never be the same again.
