(Natural News) Two undersea earthquakes struck Sumatra in Indonesia on Wednesday, August 19. They were followed hours later by the eruption of Mt. Sinabung in North Sumatra. The first earthquake, a magnitude 6.8, hit 13.6 miles below the sea. The epicenter was located about 86 miles west-southwest of Bengkulu city on the western coast of Sumatra […]

(Natural News) An SUV-sized asteroid made the closest known flyby by such an object to Earth on Saturday, August 15. It flew over the southern Indian Ocean during its nearest dip into the atmosphere. Astronomers, however, only detected it six hours after its closest approach to Earth. Scientists at the Palomar Observatory in California were the first to […]

(Natural News) We live at a time when giant space rocks are whizzing past our planet with alarming regularity.  Sometimes we know in advance that they are coming, and sometimes we don’t.  In fact, on July 28th an asteroid the size of a car zipped past our planet “at a range that rivals the orbits of […]

(Natural News) It’s not uncommon for a meteor such as an asteroid to hit Earth. In fact, research shows that Earth is hit by about 6,100 meteors that are big enough to reach the ground every year. That’s about 17 every day, which often go unnoticed because they fall in unpopulated areas and because of their smaller sizes. […]

(Natural News) Around three billion years ago, an asteroid crashed into Mars, forming a 75-mile wide crater known as the Lomonosov Crater. Researchers believe that the asteroid impact that made this crater also created a “mega tsunami.” This cataclysmic natural disaster would have created a wall of water a thousand feet high hurtling through the […]

(Natural News) U.S. defense and diplomatic officials say they are becoming increasingly concerned about next-generation nuclear weapons being developed and deployed by Russia that could wipe out American coastal cities with tsunamis triggered by massive undersea detonations. Christian Whiton, a former State Department senior adviser in the Trump administration, noted that hearing about the Russian […]

(Natural News) Earthquakes can be devastating primarily because of two things: first, they tend to have massively destructive power; and second, they are largely unpredictable. Indeed, because of the seemingly random occurrences of most earthquakes, they usually leave behind huge amounts of destruction. Now a new team of researchers has gathered data to prove that, […]
