November 18, 2025 -

Scientists have confirmed the discovery of the largest known impact crater formed on Earth in the past 11,700 years – a staggering 900-meter-wide depression nestled in the granite hills of southern China.

The Jinlin crater, located in Deqing County, Guangdong Province, offers unprecedented insights into the scale and frequency of cosmic collisions during the Holocene epoch, our current geological era. The crater, first identified by researchers ...

“Stablecoins” Terra and Luna crater, exposing some cryptos as highly unstable Ponzi scams

May 12, 2022 -

The idea behind stablecoins and cryptocurrency in general was to get away from the types of Ponzi schemes that control the current financial paradigm. It turns out that digital "money" is no better, at least not with these two coins.

Back in December, we reported about speculation that Tether, another so-called stablecoin, may not actually be tethered to the price of a dollar. It remains to be seen if Tether ultimately goes the way of Terra and Luna, the latter of which ...

Mystery of the missing crater: Ancient tektites reveal unknown giant asteroid impact in Australia

October 26, 2025 -

Hidden in plain sight among museum collections, tiny glass fragments known as tektites have rewritten a chapter of Earth's violent past. Researchers have uncovered evidence of a colossal asteroid impact that occurred approximately 11 million years ago—yet the crater from this cataclysmic event remains missing.

Published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, the study details the discovery of a new strewn field of tektites in South Australia, ...

Opal gemstones in Martian crater indicate extensive water, possible microbial life once existed there

January 12, 2023 -

A study issued Dec. 19 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets elaborated on the findings. The opals gave the cracked surface of Mars' Gale Crater a semi-precious sparkle. But according to the study, these opals also proved that water and rock had been interacting below the Martian surface much more recently than was earlier thought – improving the prospects that microbial life once lived there.

Researchers often focus on the water when searching for signs of ...

If green energy is so amazing, why is California’s power grid about to crater?

July 26, 2018 -

Reports indicate that, due to a persistent "heat dome" that's settled over the southwestern United States in recent weeks, energy needs in California are quickly outpacing supply. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned back in May that California faces a "significant risk of encountering operating conditions that could result in operating reserve shortfalls" as a result.

On July 24, California's power demand was expected to outstrip its available ...

Shelves stripped bare at Whole Foods stores across America as supply chain logistics crater

January 22, 2018 -

In recent months, Barclays analysts who have visited the chain’s stores have found shelves and displays that were completely empty, along with hot food bars and produce that look like they are deteriorating. In the firm’s published research notes, they said every department of one store they visited had ”high” out-of-stock issues in both branded and private-label items. An East Coast store, meanwhile, had “extraordinary” inventory problems. Basics like bananas and eggs were ...

Bitcoin to crater under “extinction level event” that WIPES OUT its value, warns investor

December 25, 2017 -

Rising in price from under $1,000 back in January, to nearly $20,000 today, Bitcoin's bullish run has been nothing short of tremendous as far as investment instruments are concerned. But its days are numbered, believes Schiffer, who is taking to the media to warn people that things could get ugly – and fast.

"I don't want people to walk through what is going to be the bloodiest financial danger of the 21st century," Schiffer is quoted as saying.

7-Eleven to close 444 underperforming stores across North America as retail economy continues to crater

October 16, 2024 -

According to its Tokyo-based parent company Seven & I Holdings, the closure will only affect around three percent of 7-Eleven's over 13,000 stores across the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The closures, announced on Oct. 10, were reportedly influenced by a variety of factors, including slowing sales, declining traffic, inflationary pressures and a decrease in cigarette purchases, but most notably a pullback in consumer spending among middle- and low-income earners....

NASA’s Mars orbiter takes a breathtaking photo of a 50-foot crater; impact could have occurred between 2016 to 2019, say experts

January 30, 2020 -

Onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), a spacecraft circling and taking photographs of the Red Planet, NASA's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument – a 143-pound camera – snapped a picture of a new crater, which researchers have estimated to be between 49 to 53 feet wide.

The image was captured in April 2019 and was posted in June. It shows what appears to be a large black-and-blue bruise on the landscape of an otherwise flat and red ...

Over 3.5 billion years ago, an asteroid formed the Lomonosov crater on Mars: Experts say this could have caused a 1,000-foot-high tsunami on the Red Planet

May 16, 2020 -

This wall of water, according to the researchers, who published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research, would have slammed into Martian land, creating strange landforms on the planet. Researcher Francois Costard, a scientist working for the French National Center for Scientific Research, has been advocating this theory as a way to explain the formation of certain geographic features on the Martian surface.

In 2016, a separate study conducted by a separate ...

Evidence of life on Mars erased over time – NASA scientists

July 23, 2021 -

Scientists claimed that millions of years ago, Mars was full of lakes that possibly harbored microbial life. However, its climate eventually changed – drying out these lakes as a result. The salty brine left from the dried-out lakes then seeped into the lake bed and altered the clay and minerals at the bottom.

NASA scientists made this discovery through the Curiosity rover, which explored the Gale Crater on the planet. The rover found that the crater, formerly a lake, had ...
