What If An Asteroid COLLIDED with Earth ?
If an asteroid were on a collision course with Earth, what would happen? While hundreds of space rocks fall through our atmosphere every year, most are small enough to burn up on entry, so there is little noticeable impact. However, throughout Earth's history, there have been several large strikes, and NASA has been conducting tests to see how prepared we are. Unfortunately, the results show that we are not ready. NASA estimates that every day, more than a hundred tons of dust and small particles fall to the Earth. On average, a car-sized object enters the atmosphere once a year and burns up, creating a fireball that streaks across the sky. Objects as large as a football field collide with Earth once every two thousand years, while a potential extinction-level collision is expected to happen every few million years.

Understanding Climate Change
If you've ever spoken about climate change anywhere on the internet, you've probably heard something along the lines of "Smarty Pants" like this. Changes in the climate are inevitable. Do you know what an Ice-Age is? I was told once that Antarctica had palm trees. Climate change caused by humans has been proven false. Presently assuming you're like me, this remark makes your eye jerk in that specific manner that possibly appears to happen while you're thinking about exactly the way in which hard you can smack your own brow without giving yourself a blackout.

Earth Moans
APRIL 11, 2020 BY [email protected] EARTH MOANS I wrote this poem on March 14, 2020. The world has not only been turned upside down, but twisted in so many ways, I feel it is trying to tell us something. Of course, we are not listening or are unable to discern what it is exactly trying to say. We are so busy living our lives that we can’t see what is dying around us. This is a study in contemplation when death comes to visit so unexpectedly, it leaves you breathless and breathing in sobs and stutters.

Understanding the Demise of Bees – The Role of Parasites, Pesticides, and Human Impact
Human society is extremely complex and fragile, built upon various pillars. One of them is the honey bee. One out of three meals eaten by humans is made possible by honey bees. They are so important that if all the honey bees were to die out, thousands of plants would follow, which could lead to millions of people starving in the following years. On top of that, honey bees have a huge economic impact. The dollar value of plants pollinated by them each year is around $265 billion. Food we take for granted would just stop existing without them, or there would be a massive decrease in productivity. Food including apples, onions, pumpkins, and also plants used for feeding livestock and thus extremely important for our milk and meat.

New Study of Uranus’ Large Moons Shows 4 May Hold Water
Re-analysis of data from NASA’s Voyager spacecraft, along with new computer modeling, has led NASA scientists to conclude that four of Uranus’ largest moons likely contain an ocean layer between their cores and icy crusts. Their study is the first to detail the evolution of the interior makeup and structure of all five large moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, and Miranda. The work suggests four of the moons hold oceans that could be dozens of miles deep.
