Dangerous Fast and Furious - Birth Of Africa's New Ocean

The only places where mid-ocean ridges appear above sea level are Ethiopia and Iceland. Two new studies into the so-called �plumbing systems� that lie under volcanoes could bring scientists closer to predicting large eruptions and reveal new information about where magma is stored and how it moves through the geological plumbing network.



6 Surprising Things Falling From The Sky

Stories of strange things falling from the sky date back a long time ago. Over the years, there have been many bizarre instances recorded when things have fallen from the skies that simply do not belong there. We have put together a list of some surprising things that fell from the heavens. These are things you certainly don't expect to fall down on you...

New Shocking Discovery Challenges The Origin Of Earth

Where did our planet come from? We already know that our Sun does not originate from M 67. A new surprising discovery is now forcing scientists to re-evaluate the origin of Earth.

Antarctica's Mysterious Lake Untersee And Its Otherworldly Ecosystem

A research team has now returned to Lake Untersee to begin the first real studies of this incredible environment. This new high-quality image details the conical stromatolites that have formed on top of a boulder at a depth of about 20 meters, other cones can be seen populating the sloping bottom...

Solar Tornadoes As Wide As Five Earths Discovered

Solar tornadoes several times as wide as the Earth can be generated in the solar atmosphere, say researchers in the UK. "This is perhaps the first time that such a huge solar tornado is filmed by an imager. Previously much smaller solar tornadoes were found my SOHO satellite. But they were not filmed," says Dr. Xing Li, of Aberystwyth University.

Extreme Weather: Rare Supercell Thunderstorm Produces Monster Hailstone

Just recently scientists announced they found new evidence linking Earth's extreme weather to human-caused global warming. Now, the National Weather Service office in Honoulu in coordination with the State Climate Extremes Committee has confirmed that a rare supercell thunderstorm has produced new state hail size record.



Who Installed "This Object" At The Bottom Of The Ocean?

Our oceans are full of secrets, and this is one of them. Deep beneath the waters we find ruins of ancient lost civilizations, wreckage of old ships and planes, and sometimes we come across very strange, unidentified objects. Looking at this odd construction, one has to ask - Who installed this object at the bottom of the ocean?

Extreme Life In Tough Environment Of Hot Earth Without Oxygen

Once upon a time, Earth was still a hot, violent place at this time, with volcanic activity dominating the early Earth. The sky was cloudy and grey, keeping the heat in despite the sun being weaker than today. The water temperature of the oceans was much higher at 40-50 degrees (the temperature of a hot bath) and circulating currents were very strong.

Living Earth Simulator - Supercomputer Predicting The Future

In Douglas Adams book the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy we encounter a machine called Deep Thought. It is the most powerful computer ever built. Deep Thought is capable of answering questions concerning life, the Universe, and simply everything. Now scientists are planning to create a similar machine. It is called the Living Earth Simulator (LES).

New Evidence Links Earth's Extreme Weather To Human-Caused Global Warming

The past decade has been one of unprecedented weather extremes. Scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany argue that the high incidence of extremes is not merely accidental. From the many single events a pattern emerges. At least for extreme rainfall and heat waves the link with human-caused global warming is clear...

Proof Of How The Universe Is Changing

Though the universe is filled with billions upon billions of stars, the discovery of a single variable star in 1923 altered the course of modern astronomy. And, at least one famous astronomer of the time lamented that the discovery had shattered his world view.

Thermonuclear Burning In A Neutron Star Detected For The First Time!

It's a very important discovery! For the first time, an international team of scientists have detected all phases of thermonuclear burning in a neutron star, located close to the center of the galaxy in the globular cluster Terzan 5.

Astronomical Mystery - Tremendous Explosion And Appearance Of Odd Rings

Twenty five years ago, on 1987 February 23, the brightest supernova of modern times was observed in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The collision occurred at speeds near 60 million kilometers per hour and shock-heats the ring material causing it to glow.

Over time, astronomers have watched and waited for the expanding debris from this tremendous stellar explosion to crash into previously expelled material...



Easter Island's Statues Reveal Bodies Covered With Unknown Ancient Petroglyphs

Standing some 2,000 miles west of Chile, on the Easter Island, 887 mysterious giant statues have intrigued scientists and the public for years. For a long time it was believed that the massive statutes consisted of just the heads. Now, scientists can reveal remarkable photos showing that the bodies of the statues go far deeper underground than just about anyone had imagined...



Extreme Earth: Where Is The Hottest Place On Earth?

There are many extreme places on our wonderful Earth. Among them is the hottest place on Earth. But where exactly is it? To answer that question is not as easy as it might seem. This question is in fact still widely debated because, how the temperature is measured plays an important role when scientists attempt to decide what place is hotter than the other.



"Something Is Seriously Wrong: Too Many Strong Earthquakes", Scientist Says

Does a supernatural seismic activity threaten our planet? Apparently, something unknown has triggered a "terrible and global domino", according to scientists who observe recent earthquake reports. Seismologists recognize that what happens to the seismic activity goes beyond the level generally considered as normal...
