Dillow July 5, 2019 11:09 am ET In May, a group of international scientists assembled near Washington, D.C., to tackle an alarming problem: what to do about an asteroid hurtling […]

#NewsWithRickSanchez #QuestionMore #RTAmerica As the world prepares for Asteroid Day 2019, the Earth is in the midst of a potentially threatening media shower. Geological and anthropological theorist Randall Carlson of Geocosmicrex.com joins Rick Sanchez to share his expertise. He says that there are “near misses” of cosmic debris on a monthly basis.

Via End Of America Blog June 16, 2019 by Michael Snyder. Over the next several weeks, our planet will have a close encounter with the Taurid meteor swarm. It will be the closest that we have been to the center of the meteor swarm since 1975, and we won’t have an encounter this close again until 2032. So for astronomers, […]

Great intro by Rick Sanchez to establish the credible threat that Coronal Mass Ejections represent to mankind. Randall comes on about 7 minutes in. Scientists fear that a super-massive solar flare could knock out Earth’s electrical grid within the next 100 years. Such an event would fry the Earth’s technology and plunge civilization into darkness. In August of 1859 such […]

Via Phys.org by Jeff Renaud, University of Western Ontario A new study from Western University posits proof to the possibility that an oncoming swarm of meteors—likened to the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot by some extraterrestrial experts—may indeed pose an existential risk for Earth and its inhabitants. (That’s us.) When considering catalysts for catastrophic collision, there are two main sources […]

It’s the time of year for the long-lasting Taurid meteor shower. If you glimpse any, think about this. Last year, a team of researchers from […]

Via Rt.com via GIPHY Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are asteroids and comets in orbits that come within 121 million miles (195 million km) of the sun, and also within roughly 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit around our star. Data from January 1, 1999 to the end of January 2018 shows the spectacular increase in asteroid discoveries in the Solar System. […]
