Asteroid YU55 Will Pass Close to Earth November 2011

A giant asteroid will pass so close to Earth later this year, that amateur astronomers will be able to spot it with just a small telescope. The 55-million tones of Asteroid YU55 is a quarter of a mile across and will pass between Earth and our cosmic neighbor the Moon during the month of November 2011. YU55 is actually listed on the hazardous space objects list produced by NASA, yet NASA are playing down fears that YU55 could actually smash into the Earth.

Aleutian volcano's behavior a challenge for scientists

Cleveland Volcano, a 5,676-foot peak located 940 miles southwest of Anchorage, continues to expel lava out its crater, a low-level eruption that began in mid-July, scientists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory said. Satellite imagery shows a lava dome growing inside the volcano's crater. Satellite data also shows continued heat generated from the volcano, according to the observatory, a joint federal-state organization. So far, there have been no signs of ash clouds. But those could come with little warning, scientists said. "The big thing we're concerned...

“Everyone, everywhere, is buying gold”

Gold, a safe haven just like the Swiss franc, is breaking records and should continue on its upwards spiral, expert Frédéric Panizzutti tells swissinfo.ch. Panizzutti, vice president at Geneva-based gold trading group MKS Finance, says gold’s advantage is that it can be exchanged all over the world and against all currencies. But some are convinced that the gold bubble will burst. What is true is that gold has been hovering above the $1,800 (SFr1,421) per ounce (around 31 grams) threshold in recent days, reaching a record $1,900...
