The Chicxulub crater is largely regarded by scientists to be the remnants of collision that caused the mass-extinction of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago.
The crater is located beneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and has a diameter of more than 180 kilometres (that’d be around 110 miles). When the Chicxulub asteroid crashed into [...]

I found this recent ABC News update mildly disturbing, particularly the part where one professor tells that vehicles in the future could be “bristling” (his word, not mine) with “little insect eyes and brains”.
Researchers in the physiology department at the University of Adelaide have been working with flies to determine how the insects judge the [...]

By now you’ve probably already seen terrifying pictures of the Guatemalan sinkhole.
Severe tropical storms are believed to have triggered the appearance of the 30-metre-deep (almost 100 feet) hole, which swallowed a three-storey building and left an eerily symmetrical wound in the Earth. Surprisingly, no human lives were lost, despite unsubstantiated reports by a local newspaper [...]

It’s not very often I get to write an update about Adelaide… unnassuming little Adelaide where nothing ever really happens (except, you know, children going missing and the occasional serial murder).
Yesterday the police reported that they had seized a cache of weapons belonging to an Adelaide Doomsday cult. Twelve properties connected to the Agape Ministries [...]

Today, I had MSG for lunch. Labelled as “flavour enhancer (621)”, MSG (or monosodium glutamate) was a substance that I previously believed had been banned in Australia due to alleged health concerns.
But after a recent spate of television advertisements alerted me to the fact that many companies still make use of MSG in their food [...]

Here I am, back at last. I like how I always say that as though anyone even noticed I was missing in the first place. But I’ve held onto my delusions for this long and don’t see that changing anytime soon.
It’s weird, “going away”. For a time you live somewhere else, you look out at [...]

Of all the places you’d expect to see lava, “Iceland” would probably be low on your list. But just as Greenland is actually 80% ice so too has Iceland revealed itself as a land of contradictions when a series of subglacial earthquakes last month set in motion a stunning display of volcanic activity from beneath [...]

In prehistoric times the Earth’s atmosphere is believed to have been much richer in oxygen than it is today, allowing exoskeletal creatures (including insects, spiders and crustaceans) to grow much larger than their modern-day counterparts. This information hasn’t stopped some creatures, namely the coconut crab, from growing larger than I consider reasonable for any creature [...]

NASA has revealed that a celestial object that went careening past our planet earlier last week was “probably” an asteroid, doing little to allay the fears of those determined to believe that it was actually an intergalactic junker, or maybe even a space whale.
Dubbed “2010 AL30″ in what is an obvious attempt to render it [...]
