The artist had supposedly died before the Whitechapel Murders (see Jack the Ripper), but it was subsequently discovered that he died afterward, in an asylum in 1891. One theory on the identity of Jack the Ripper showed a link to Melville MacNaghten because Miles and his roommate, Oscar Wilde, lived on Tite Street near MacNaghten. Additionally, Miles's cousin was an equiry to Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence. The brother of Montague Druitt, another suspect, was in the same regiment that Miles had been in. The theory that Miles might have been Jack the Ripper had been produced by Thomas Toughill, but it never seems to have caught on -- possibly because it was too weak. It resurfaced in the 1970s and was mentioned in Donald Rumbelow's original Complete Jack the Ripper. Whitechapel is a place in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, United Kingdom. ...

Frank says that what may be needed to resolve the debate is a space mission to meet the small comets 600 miles out.
Frank and Sigwarth, who co-discovered the small comets and designed and built the three Visible Imaging System (VIS) cameras aboard Polar, offered the pictures as proof of their 12-year-old theory, which holds that small snow comets, over the age of the Earth, could have provided enough water to fill the oceans.
Frank countered that not only their small size -- 20-to-30-feet in diameter -- makes observation difficult, but also that water striking the upper atmosphere glows very faintly as compared to the bright glow of metal and rock in solid meteors.
