Chernobyl - Wormwood
The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. - Revelation 8:10,11
This prophecy was given in about 95 AD to John the Revelator on the island of Patmos.
The Bible Prophecy speaks of a star called Wormwood which caused great damage, and poisoned the waters, Chernobyl is the Ukrainian name for Wormwood.
On the 26th April of 1986 there was a nuclear explosion in Chernobyl, Ukraine (Russia) that occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is widely considered to have been the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. This caused damage that is still causing problems for the citizens of the country, and many other nations were affected from the fallout.

Halleys Comet
Halleys comet passed by earth April 10th 1986, appearing as a bright star, blazing like a torch, a few days later, April 26th, Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded.
The prophecy of the third trumpet emphasizes that the star called Wormwood made the waters bitter. As the nuclear cloud produced by Chernobyl drifted over the Soviet Union and over Europe, an extraordinary amount of rain fell. The rain brought the radiation from the nuclear cloud onto the soil, the animals, the crops, the trees, and into the rivers. The greater the rainfall, the greater was the amount of radioactivity. These heavy rains greatly increased the magnitude of the disaster. Much (almost all) of Europe was affected.
Halleys comet is the only short period comet (visible every 75-76 years), and is the only comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime, being able to be seen without a telescope from earth.
