Mystery Comet or Asteroid Collision?
February 2, 2010 – Last month something strange was spotted in the asteroid belt. It looked like a comet, but its strange circular orbit around the sun suggested it must be a very rare asteroid/comet hybrid. There was another theory however, it could be the first ever observed hyper-velocity asteroid impact, and the comet-like tail was actually the debris produced after the violent cosmic encounter.
As this had the potential to be an unprecedented discovery, David Jewitt of UCLA applied for some special observing time on the Hubble Space Telescope and this is what our eye in the sky saw.
For more details, read Ray Villard’s run-down of this mystery visitor: Bizarre Asteroid Collision is One For The X-Files.

2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning: Envisioning the World After the Events of 2012
The 5,125-yearlong Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, which many claim portends a massive global transformation. Some dread its arrival, believing it will be the beginning of the end. Others await it with delicious anticipation, expecting it to be the catalyst for a quantum leap of consciousness, the dawning of a true New Age.
Others wonder if anything at all will occur–remember Y2K?
2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning: Envisioning the World After the Events of 2012
Some of the questions this book explores include:
* Will cosmic and earthly chaos disrupt our lives with destructive sunspot cycles, volcanic super-eruptions, monster storms, mass extinctions, and asteroid threats?
* Will huge leaps in technology create bionic humans, computers that think, and an end to all disease–possibly even death itself?
* Will economic and geopolitical powers shift out of the West and into the “the New Eurasia,” with new wars being fought over dwindling resources as global warming takes its toll?
* Will this be the evolution revolution of human consciousness–or the final countdown that leads to Armageddon itself?
* Will it be the apocalypse so many have feared–or the rebirth of the world and the transformation of humanity?
There is much, much more to the 2012 enigma than just an ancient calendar, and 2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning? will prove it.

As Temperature Rises, Earth Breathes Faster, and Maybe Harder
The critical question is whether soils release more CO2 because faster-growing plants pump more in, or if soils release CO2 that would have stayed in the ground at lower temperatures.
If the latter, the fresh influx of CO2 could produce a self-reinforcing cycle, producing higher temperatures that cause even more CO2 to be released.
Carbon dioxide enters the soil through the roots of living plants and from the decaying bodies of dead plants, and is processed by microbes, fungi and insects. Over time, some of that CO2 releases back into the atmosphere.
At any given time, there’s about twice as much CO2 in Earth’s soils as in its atmosphere.
Because more heat means more energy and faster chemical reactions, Earth scientists have suspected that rising global temperatures would increase the rate of soil respiration.
The last review of soil respiration studies (.pdf) took place in 1992, however, and though it found a link between temperature and respiration rates, data was relatively sparse.
Whatever the anomaly’s explanation, that data was still included when global soil-respiration rates were calculated and the rise identified.
What’s not clear from the analysis is whether soil-respiration rates have increased without actually affecting atmospheric balances of CO2, or if CO2 that would have remained earthbound is now being released.

Earthquake in Chile moved city 9 feet
The earthquake of magnitude 8.8 that struck Chile on 27 February visited the city of Concepción for more than three meters to the west, scientists revealed on Monday (8).
Preliminary measurements obtained from global positioning stations show that Concepcion, the second city of Chile, moved 3.04 meters (around 10′) to the west by the tremor.
Santiago, the Chilean capital, moved 27.7 centimeters (11″) to the west, according to measurements made by Chilean and American experts and published by Ohio State University.
The earthquake in Chile moved to the city of Buenos Aires, by 4 inches to the west, and was felt in the Falkland Islands in the Atlantic.
