<insert echoey voice> Doom Clouds from Space!!
Time for another round of space cloud doom!

[link to www.udel.edu]

Ongoing studies of Earth's "cocoon" might someday reveal whether close encounters with cosmic clouds cause periodic extinctions, according to Zank, who earned a National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1993 and a Zeldovich Medal in 1996.

"We're surrounded by hot gas," Zank says. "As our sun moves through extremely 'empty' or low-density interstellar space, the solar wind produces a protective bubble-the heliosphere around our solar system, which allows life to flourish on Earth. Unfortunately, we could bump into a small cloud at any time, and we probably won't see it coming. Without the heliosphere, neutral hydrogen would interact with our atmosphere, possibly producing catastrophic climate changes, while our exposure to deadly cosmic radiation in the form of very high-energy cosmic rays would increase."


Let's see.. Space cloud can cause climate change on all the solar system's planets, disrupt the Sun, knock Oort objects off orbit causing comets, and rain space radiation down on us..

Let's tick off the list.. Check.. Check.. Check.. Check..

Space cloud doom is not sexy enough to be popular around here, because you know, it's not all about some anti-establishment conspiracy, it's all out in the open

yah they blew up a nuclear power plant covering the entire earth with a blanket of radiation to cover normal radiation.


you people are really fucking moranic..

You are on here, therefore you are part of "you people"!

But what I said was that I proposed the conspiritard theory that they spread the story of radiation leaking, but really it's coming in from space, not from Japan, they disinfo it just so people don't panic at the upcoming mass extinction from the <insert echoey voice> killer space cloud of doooooom!!!

I was just reading about a 1983 comet called IRAS this morning and was surprised to read it referenced like this:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

During the closest approach the comet appeared as a circular cloud about the size of the full moon, having no discernible tail, and shining at a naked eye magnitude of 3-4. It swept across the sky at an incredible speed of some 30 degrees per day.
