World's Smallest Baby



On October 24th 2006, Amillia Taylor was born at 21 weeks and six days. No baby born at less than 23 weeks gestation had ever survived, but 10 ounce Amillia was able to pull through (and even was trying to breath and cry on her own at birth). Hospitals had initially hoped to release her yesterday, but decided to keep the now healthy baby a few extra days for observation.

Her mother doesn't mind the wait, she's just proud and happy that Amillia is healthy: "Even though she's only four pounds (1.8 kilos) now, she's plump to me." Story via Yahoo, Picture via The Cellar

Honestly Alex, I have no idea. You would think that there would be a hole the size of Michigan there. Is there a geologist in the house? An astrophysicist maybe?

A little help here?

Bueller?

in 1990, Robert Alan Haag, one of the biggest trades of meteorites of the world, tried to steal the second largest meteorite of the world from Chaco, Argentina. He mounted a huge operation to lift and move this 37 ton piece and take it to the U.S.

The Apollo Lunar missions were sent into a figure 8 reverse lunar orbit so they would return to Earth orbit w/o interference.

They had to brake to get into a Lunar orbit. They had to boost to get out of lunar orbit. They had to brake for Earth re-entry. I heard it called a "mail slot"; 40mi wide X 5mi high they had to hit. Too low and heat built faster than speed slowed and they would burn up. Too high and they would not slow down enough and wind up dying in Earth orbit.

There is video taken in the last 30 years showing a fairly massive object over Canada vaporizing/shedding mass but still "ricocheting" off the atmosphere.

The Hoba meteorite would have made a 100-200M hole if it had come straight in. It came in at a small angle and slowed to suborbital velocity. Considering its mass(estimated) and density; it could have touched ground at hundreds if not thousands of mph bounced hundreds of miles before coming to rest.

PS. I don't think it's going to float even if it rains lots more...
