Objects spotted in search for missing AirAsia flight as hope fades for passengers
Dec. 29, 2014 - Two spots in the Java Sea are being considered as possible crash sites for the AirAsia Flight 8501
that disappeared yesterday with 162 people on board. One area has floating debris and the other is an oil spill. Henry Bambang Soelistyo,
Indonesia's search and rescue chief, said:
"Based on the coordinates that we know, the evaluation would be that any estimated crash position is in the sea, and that
the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea."

NASA: Asteroid Will Pass ‘Very Close’ To Earth On Sunday
Sept. 4, 2014 - An asteroid, designated 2014 RC, was only discovered a few days ago. On Sunday it will safely pass over New

On the night of Aug. 31, the asteroid was first discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey near Tucson, Ariz., and was detected independently the next
night by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope that is located in Hawaii.

Solar Flares Came Close to Wreaking Havoc on Earth's Technology
University of California, Berkeley research physicist Janet Luhmann revealed that the fierce solar storm that erupted on July 23, 2012
could have caused an estimated $2.6 trillion worth of damage to the Earth's electrical grids and modern technologies such as global positioning system satellites.
The bursts from the sun, called coronal mass ejections, carried southward magnetic fields and would have clashed with Earth's northward field, causing a
shift in electrical currents that could have caused electrical transformers to burst into flames.
If the storm had occurred nine days earlier it would have aimed directly at Earth.
