First Aid Fixes For an Out-of-Control Earth - Space.com In The Day After Tomorrow, a fast-action flick about a human-induced ecological disaster on a planetary scale, tornadoes twist through Los Angeles. New Delhi is inundated by a giant snowstorm. Grapefruit-sized hail bombards Tokyo. And no good sci-fi/disaster movie can refrain without crippling New York once more, this time with an ice age. climate experts and technologists have been looking into "what if" scenarios that might curb abrupt climate change. |

Spitzer Dissects True Nature Of Galaxies - Space.com Pahre
said Spitzer’s space-based looks at galaxies outstrips ground-based
telescopes. The Keck Observatory, sitting on a remote outpost on the summit of Hawaii's dormant Mauna Kea volcano, takes a hundred-times longer to reach the same sensitivity as the Spitzer telescope, he said. Some galaxies previously placed in the elliptical/lenticular class were found to have warm dust faintly emitting from spiral arms. |

17th Century Solar Oddity Believed Linked To Global Cooling - SpaceDaily A mysterious 17th century solar funk that some have linked to Europe's Little Ice Age and to global climate change, becomes even more of an enigma as a result of new observations by University of California, Berkeley, astronomers. For 70 years, from 1645 until 1714, early astronomers reported almost no sunspot activity. The number of sunspots - cooler areas on the sun that appear dark against the brighter surroundings - dropped a thousandfold, according to some estimates. Though activity on the sun ebbs and flows today in an 11-year cycle, it has not been that quiet since. |
