This Is The Second Asteroid To Be Captured By Earth’s Gravity After An Asteroid Named “2006 RH120” Was Captured In June 2006 And Stayed Until Around September 2007.

  • The Oldest Known Asteroid Impact Crater, “Yarrabubba Crater,” May Have Been Discovered In Australia. The Impact, Dated To 2.229 Byr, Possibly Ended The Snow Ball Earth Glacial Condition Via Water Vapour, A Green House Gas, Hurtled Into The Atmosphere. Another Implication Of This Discovery Is That Other Older Craters May Still Exist.

  • Evidence Of The World Oldest Forest, A Fossilized Tree Root Dated To ~386 MYA, Was Discovered In An Abandoned Quarry In Cairo, NY, ~40 Miles South Of Albany. The Forest Is Said To Be 2-3 Myrs Older Than The Previously Discovered Forest In Gilboa, NY. This Discovery Provides A Snapshot Of Earth’s Evolution From No Forest To Being Forested.

  • A Major Climate Regulator, The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), Is Said To Be Weakening. It’s Weaker Than It Was For 1000 Yrs. This Is Probably Due To An Increase In Fresh Water Influx As A Result Of Global Warming. Could The Next Ice Age Be On The Horizon? Only Further Studies And Time Will Tell.

  • The New Find That Part Of North America, Specifically The Canadian Land Mass, Was Once Attached To Northern Australia 1.7 Byrs Ago Continues To Support The Plate Tectonic Theory, In Which The Earth’s Broken Lithosphere (Tectonic Plates) Have Been Moving Slowly, Relative To Each Other. The Plates, ~2 To 1.8 Bya, Came Together To Form What’s Bel…
