Of course, we may not even be here to witness the next major impact event. There could be a super-volcanic eruption before that, which would be just as devastating to life on earth. Or a direct hit from an unprecedented solar event, like a super massive coronal mass ejection, potentially powerful enough to simply rip the earth's atmosphere clean off it's surface and annihilating every living thing on the planet. It could happen but probably won't so don't have nightmares.

@ obi_jon - 25.09.17 - 11:25am This is it. There was once talk of a science forum being created and this topic was declared as the de-facto science topic until such a forum was added. Unfortunately, that was several years ago now and nothing to that end has materialised, as yet. Oh I see. That would be really cool if they add another forum solely for the intellectual-science-talky types like us. Lazy site developers/owner admin |

I wouldn't hold your breath, I think we can all see what the next 'development' will be (and I don't mean the long-overdue Politics and News forum...) |

Dear AuroraWatch UK subscriber, Red alert: aurora likely. It is likely that aurora will be visible by eye and camera from anywhere in the UK. Viewing aurora requires clear, dark skies away from light pollution. To monitor current activity see http://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk.

This is our 3rd clmate change. Between one and two lands like Iceland were free from ice and were lush and green where dinosaurs used to rome, then millions of years later, most of the planet was inbedded in ice. Now today our planet is getting warmer and the ice is melting and the planet is experiencing dramatic weather changes yet again. There's a old provcesy that the first time our planet was flooded, the next time it will be burnt by fire. Only a few days ago there was a report that a flare was the strongest yet they ad seen. could the activity of these flares be a omen of planet earths

Cont. Dimiss. At the moment these sun flares are just affecting our electronic divices. If a killer flare was about to hit us. With our present space technology being so inadequate we wouldn't be able to out run it. Even if we lived on mars or the moon, the intense heat would vaperise every thing in its path.

Orionid meteor shower peaks this weekend, our annual trip through the debris field left by Halley's comet. It's usually quite a moderate but reliable shower, consistently producing between 20-40 meteors per hour on average but occasionally it will produce 100+. Best viewing times between 2am and dawn, particulary on Sunday. They can occur anywhere in the sky but appear to radiate from the constellation of Orion.
