Nasa team sees explosion on Moon
|
||
Nasa scientists have witnessed a rare explosion on the Moon, caused by a "meteoroid" slamming into it. The blast was equal in energy to about 70kg of TNT and was seen near the edge of Mare Imbrium (the Sea of Rains). The object that hit the Moon was probably part of a shower of "taurids" which peppered Earth in late October and early November. Understanding lunar impacts could help protect astronauts when Nasa sends humans back to the Moon. Meteoroids are small rocky or metallic objects in orbit around the Sun, or another star. One of the astronomers who observed the impact estimates that it gouged a crater 3m wide and 0.4m deep. Rob Suggs of Nasa's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, US, was testing a new 10-in telescope and video camera they assembled to monitor the moon for space strikes. On 7 November, his first night using the telescope, he observed one. |

JANUARY TORNADOES SMACKED KENTUCKY YESTERDAY - AS FORECASTED.
My forecast did pretty well. I figured areas east of here would be hit the hardest. I went with the extreme eastern portion of Western Kentucky and then all the way to the West Virginia Border. My second target area was the Atlanta area. Numerous tornadoes hit Central Kentucky and tornadoes were reported near Atlanta...some with injuries. Considerable damage in both areas. I figure we would have isolated severe weather in this area and that seems to pan out according the Paducah, NWS. I still think we MIGHT see flurries later this week. Winter will remain missing though. I am concerned that 2006 might be a drought year. Not good news for this area because of all the farmers.
KENTUCKY STORM DAMAGE
