The layers are of differing hardness; […]

Bright Explosion on the Moon On May 17 a small rock hit Mare Imbrium and was detected visually. At ~40 kg and 56,000 miles per hour, the impact energy was about 5 tons TNT equivalent, and would have been visible to the naked eye. I suspect that a similar impact on Earth would have been […]

If someone invades your home, there are really only two good outcomes. The first and most obvious is the outcome that results from the homeowner centerpunching the invader with something along the lines of a .45 or a 12 gauge, though there are the obvious problems of the mess.
