One morning at the beach

I love being at the beach. Something about the crisp salty morning air just refreshes me. So last week I decided to drop by my favourite beach spot, an impromptu visit. I wanted to collect some shells too. Here is the video I took.

A little reminder, the beach is a nice place to visit but it can be dangerous too. If it is lowtide, don't wonder to far onto the sand banks. Keep a lookout of the water rising. Don't be trapped!

Hope you like the video, I'll make more. Please leave a comment or two. Thanks.

THE DINOSAURS DIDN'T SEE IT COMING

this is no chicken ball

Scientists in Russia are warning of a threat from space. An asteroid by the name of Apophis their concern. This whopper of a rock, measures 1,000 feet across, is about the size of a stadium! The asteroid will appear in our part of space in 2029. It will be making its first pass around the earth. It will be so close that it will travel beneath our communication satellites. In fact, you might see it whiz by overhead with binoculars.

In 1908, one asteroid hit hit Tunguska, Siberia flattening about a thousand square miles of forest, destroying about 100 million trees, and leaving a huge scar in the Earth. The object that struck Siberia was probably only 100 feet across, yet it created a blast about 1,000 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb. Now the one that is headed our way is 1000 feet across, do the math!

Preliminary calculations by scientist show that there is a slight chance it might actually hit the earth when it returns in 2036 but the latest calculations only show a one in a hundred thousand chance of impact. Phew! What a relief.
