Revelation 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; [kjv]

και ο τριτος αγγελος εσαλπισεν και επεσεν εκ του ουρανου αστηρ μεγας καιομενος ως λαμπας και επεσεν επι το τριτον των ποταμων και επι τας πηγας των υδατων [gnt]

Word: disaster from the Italian which came from the following Latin prefix and word.

The Latin prefix "dis" ≈ "bad".
"astro" ≈ "star" which comes from the ancient Greek word "ἄστρον" ≈ "star".

Literally, a disaster has to do with "bad" "stars" or omens in the sky.

The Greek word for "wormwood", a type of plant, appears in Revelation 8.

In modern times, some associate the 1986 nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, whose Russian name means "wormwood", with Revelation 8.

Revelation 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. [kjv]

και το ονομα του αστερος λεγεται ο αψινθος και εγενετο το τριτον των υδατων εις αψινθον και πολλοι των ανθρωπων απεθανον εκ των υδατων οτι επικρανθησαν [gnt]

… Absinthius … absinthium … [v]

The ancient Greek word "αψιθιά" ≈ "wormwood" and comes from "ἀψίνθιον" ≈ "wormwood" as a type of plant.
The Russian word "Чернобыль" (sher-no-bell) ≈ "Chernobyl"which is a small city in Ukraine, the site of a 1986 nuclear disaster. The city name comes from the Russian word "чернобыль" (cher-no-bell) ≈ "wormwood".
