A strong earthquake has struck about 77 miles west of the capital of the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.1 quake struck Thursday. The quake struck at a depth of 14 miles.

It may still be early in the year, but NASA already has a reason to celebrate 2012: two gravity probes are successfully in orbit around the moon, and their science mission is ready to get under way.

Over the last five days, solar activity has been increasing with ebbs and flow of C-class and M-class flares. In addition, CMEs (coronal mass ejections) have spun off these events of which some have been Earth directed.

Solar activity is at eruptive levels and gradually increasing, with the GOES X-ray flux background close to C level. More than seven C flares were observed within the last 24 hours. Several more C flares are expected within the next 24 hours, with a chance for an M flare from sunspot region 1393 and 1388.

A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck under the sea two hundred miles (kilometers) south of Japan on Sunday, shaking buildings in the capital, but officials said there was no danger of a tsunami.

Solar activity has ramped up over the last five days. The Sun has unleashed four M-class flares, several C-class flares and four CMEs (coronal mass ejections). All four combined events were Earth directed, some of which produced a glancing blow. In addition to the flares and cmes, a large coronal hole produced a stream of charged particles which most likely closely followed, or perhaps attached with named events.

Strong winds and heavy rain pummeled India's southeastern coastline Friday as Cyclone 'Thane' roared onshore killing at least 19 people.

A magnitude 6.6 earthquake occurred earlier today and is in same area of Russia's Soyuz crash site after failing on Saturday 12.24.2012. It could be just a coincident, or there could be a direct connection.

One of Indonesia's most active volcanoes erupted Tuesday, spewing clouds of ash and panicking villagers but no evacuation has been ordered so far, a government vulcanologist said.This followed a CME (coronal mass ejection) impact which hit the Earth's magnetic field today.

You don't see this to often; actually, I've never seen this. A comets orbit often takes it by the Sun. They are called "Sungrazers." This is usually the end of the road for these travelers ... but not this one.

This new discovery appears to suggest our galaxy Milky Way, has a pulse, or perhaps a "heart beat." What you will see from the video below, is a pulse of gaseous clouds of charged particles. What effect this may have on our solar system is unknown. It is also unknown if this pulsating dispensing of charged particles from the Milky Way's black hole (or galactic center) will be directed at our solar system. If it is, then when? Moreover, could this be the funnel of charged particles which have been prophesied by most all religions? VIDEO INSIDE

The 2011 Atlantic hurricane season officially ends Wednesday, having produced a total of 19 tropical storms of which seven became hurricanes, including three major hurricanes. This level of activity matched NOAA's predictions and continues the trend of active hurricane seasons that began in 1995.

There are no reports of damage or casualties. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reports no pacific-wide tsunami is expected. The 7.3 quake occurred at 9:22 (PDT). The epicenter is 55 miles SSW of Lae, New Guinea.

Today, the CERN science community has announced the so-called "God Particle" may have been discovered. My three prior articles (Part I-II-III) was perhaps the preamble to today's headlines. As mentioned, the Vatican was involved in every step of this research and findings. One could say the science community wanted the blessing of the Pope; and they got, and I would say was with enthusiasm.

As many of you already know, I have been probably the loudest voice in the community telling you about "fluid displacement" and earthquakes. Hence, I am grateful to see this highly credible study advocating my research. A groundbreaking study led by University of Miami (UM) scientist Shimon Wdowinski shows that earthquakes, including the recent 2010 temblors in Haiti and Taiwan, may be triggered by rain from tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons. "Very wet rain events are the trigger," said Wdowinski, associate research professor of marine geology and geophysics at the UM Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

Canada on Monday became the first country to formally withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol, saying the pact on cutting carbon emissions was preventing the world from effectively tackling climate change.
