Great Basin "blob" eating away at earth's mantle -- May
27, 2009
"Here's how it works: "The Earth's
mantle, which lies below the thin outer
crust we live on, consists of rock which deforms
plastically on very long time scales due to the heat and pressure
at depth," West said. "In any material which can flow
(including the mantle), a heavy object will tend to sink
through lighter material."
And this is what the scientists think is happening with the
lithospheric drip. A region of heavier material trapped in the
lithosphere gets warmed up and begins to sink into the lighter,
less dense mantle beneath, pulling a long tail of material after
it.
He said the blob is between about 30 miles and 60 miles in
diameter and extends from a depth of about 47 miles to at least
310 miles beneath Earth's surface.
We wondered how you could have something like a drip that is
drawing material into its center when the surface of the whole
area is stretching apart," said ASU researcher Matthew
Fouch. "But it turns out that there is an area right above
the drip, in fact the only area in the Great Basin, that is
currently undergoing contraction."
Last year, Arizona State University Allen McNamara explained how
Earth is not neatly divided into a crust, mantle and core.
Rather, several large blobs of highly compressed rock —
which he described as behaving like honey or peanut butter —
exist

Close Encounter: Asteroid DD45 March 2, 2009 -- only 45,000 miles
from earth ; force of 1,000 atomic bombs
potential to impact a very large section of the earth; 40 yards
wide; could cause tsunami.
" No object of that size, or larger,
has been observed to come closer to the Earth,"
http://www.newsday.com/services/newspaper/printedition/wednesday/health/ny-hsaste0412512989mar04,0,2815402.story
"The impact had the force of a thousand
atomic bombs, astronomers say.
Asteroid 2009 DD45 was closest to the earth on Monday at around
8.30am, at just under 45,000 miles above the surface of the
planet.
The closest listed "flyby" to Earth by an
asteroid happened in March 2004 when a small one - 2004 FU162 -
measuring about 20 feet across came within about 4,000 miles of
the earth.

September 29,
2004 -- city-sized asteroid
On Sept. 29, 2004 an asteroid the size of a small city will make
the closest known pass of such a very large space rock anytime
this century.
Computer model based on radar data reveals different views of Toutatis.
While not dangerous
for now, asteroid Toutatis is incredibly strange. And scientists
are quite familiar with it, having bounced radar off the tumbling
stone on previous flybys to generate computer renderings of its
weird shape and movement.
This fall, it will zoom by our planet within a million
miles, or about four times the distance to the Moon.
That's close by cosmic standards for an object that could
cause global devastation.

Witnesses along a 60-mile swath of the sound from near Tacoma
to Whidbey Island and as far away as Coeur d'Alene, Idaho,
260 miles to the east, said the sky lit up brilliantly.
Many reported booming sounds as if from one or more explosions.
"It made a pretty big bang," Petty Officer Andrew Davis
said from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. "We thought it
could maybe be a meteorite or something."

It was a big fireball. I don't know how

of it and a pretty long comet like tail on it. But all I can say
was it was big. Nothing like I'd ever seen, and I've seen a few

March
21, 2004 Fireball over Central Canada ( beyond Montana )
The fireball that lit up the night sky over Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Manitoba has stoked excitement
among astronomers musing about the rare possibility of a
significant meteorite discovery.
Although the sky was cloudy on Sunday night, the burst of light
was visible to Calgarian Rachel Crook as she headed north on
Crowchild Trail.
"There was a great, huge bright-orange flash to the
east," she said. "It was amazing."
Without a doubt, a very bright fireball was seen," he
said, adding all signs are pointing to a meteor -- burning
fragments of asteroids from the region between Mars and Jupiter.
Because it was so widely visible and some witnesses heard
a sonic boom or smelled sulphur, the possibility of a
meteorite -- when pieces of a meteor actually reach Earth -- are
increased, he added.
He said there were reports Sunday of sightings
from Edmonton to Ottawa and into North Dakota.

Fireballs falling in Spain -- Jan. 5, 2003
The bright flashes were spotted at around 6 p.m. local
time (1700 GMT) in a swathe across the northern half of Spain,
from the eastern city of Valencia to the northwestern pilgrimage
site of Santiago de Compostela.
In some cases, objects were reported to have fallen to
earth.
" I heard a big explosion, like an earth tremor, and a white
cloud of smoke formed around a nearby mountain which took a long
time to disappear," a local official from the northern
region of Palencia told the radio.

COSMIC BLIND SPOT---glare of the Sun makes them totally

Largest asteroid in years just barely misses earth.... June

(closer to us than the moon)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An asteroid the
size of a soccer field whizzed by Earth at a distance
much nearer than the Moon, the biggest such space rock
in decades to get this close, scientists said on Thursday.
Asteroid 2002MN was not detected until Monday, three
days after its closest approach on June 14, when it
got within 75,000 miles of Earth and was traveling at a speed of
some 23,000 miles per hour, astronomers said.

"Blind

http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992052
This also
happened about 3 months ago...
March 8- 2002
The space rock approached Earth in the glare of
the Sun, a blind spot that made it impossible to see during the
day or night from any terrestrial vantage point.
The event illustrates the potential of a surprise hit
by an asteroid, astronomers said.
In a telephone interview, Williams explained there was no way to
see the asteroid until it moved out of the Sun's glare and to the
opposite side of Earth in relation to the Sun -- Earth's night
side.
About 1,000 asteroids larger than 1 kilometer
(0.6 miles) are thought to lurk in orbits that might one day
threaten Earth with planet-wide chaos. About 500 of them have
been found.

another." The array of five planets will provide a planet

Increased Risk along New Madrid Fault-- June 22, 2005
Strain is building on a fault near
Memphis, Tennessee that was the site of a magnitude
8.1 earthquake in 1812, according to new
observations that settle a debate on the risk of
another huge quake.
Such a strong earthquake would rock
the entire eastern half of the country and prove devastating to
the local region
The new study, detailed in the June 23 issue of
the journal Nature reveals a vexing characteristic of the
fault that traverses the region. The ground moves more near
the fault, creeping a few millimeters every year, than it
does farther from it.

Louisiana, Texas coasts sinking -- June 6, 2005
The report already has ignited debate in Louisiana. If
that state's coast continues to sink, its multibillion-dollar
plan to protect coastal cities and wetlands from flooding has
targeted the wrong problem, erosion. Every building on land
certified as safe from flooding may, in fact, be in danger if
Louisiana's benchmarks are flawed. And levees thought to protect
New Orleans from a Category 3 hurricane might fail even if a
moderate Category 2 storm struck the Big Easy.
Texas could have similar problems if its benchmark elevations are
flawed. The National Hurricane Center bases its storm-surge
models on benchmarks, as do emergency planners trying to
determine when key evacuation routes might flood.
Subsidence — the sinking or settling of
land — comes in two basic forms. One is
man-made, caused by groundwater pumping or oil and gas
extraction. The other, which Dokka says is causing nearly all of
the problems along Louisiana's coast, is natural, or geologic,
subsidence.

Hailstones as big as eggs kill 18, and 25 injured, 1 missing --

Qianjiang District in Chongqing was the worst

destroying more than 27,800 houses and local crops.
In this district alone, there was damage worth 35 million yuan
(US$4.2 million).
Ye Sheng, deputy director of Gaoxian County's Party committee in
Yibin, said he witnessed a hailstorm that lasted for
about one-and-a-half hours on Friday.
He said some hailstones were as big as eggs, and even
small ones were the size of peas. "Many houses were pierced
by the hail. It is the most serious hailstorm for 20 years in the
county," he was quoted by People's Daily as
