The Flat Earth Society

Whether or not you believe in a flat earth or a spherical one, this should still give you a chance to read about flat earth theory and post your views.

Beetles shared Earth with dinosaurs

Beetles first appeared on Earth at the same time as the earliest dinosaurs but turned out to be much better survivors, a new evolutionary study has shown. Today, there are an estimated 350,000 known species of beetle on Earth, and probably several million more yet to be discovered, say scientists. The insects account for about a quarter of all life forms on the planet.

Top 10 Most amazing facts about the Earth

Secret Places of the Earth

Google Earth has some amazing and interesting images to be found. Here are a few, shown in video form (if you can ignore the cheesy music).

New Cloak of Plasma Found Around Earth

A detailed analysis of the measurements of five different satellites has revealed the existence of warm cloak of plasma around Earth. This newfound feature is part of the magnetosphere, a shield of magnetic fields and electrically charged particles that surround and protect Earth from the onslaught of the solar wind.

Japan Captures HDTV of Full Earth "Rise" from Lunar Orbit

The Japanese lunar orbiter "Kaguya" saw earth, moon and sun line up on April 6, 2008 and captured another "Earth-rise" and "Earth-set" HDTV video - this time when the Earth was full.

Movie shows alien's-eye view of Earth and Moon

A spacecraft sent on a mission to inspect comets has filmed the Earth and its moon from 31 million miles away, making an alien's-eye view of our world. VIDEO

Real Life Canvas Earth

A combination of roads and some storm damage to trees created a very realistic Canvas-Earth type picture.

For those who don't aren't familar with the term, "Canvas Earth":

Japanese moon probe shoots first HDTV footage of Earth

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and public broadcaster NHK have succeeded in capturing their first high-definition video of Earth from the Kaguya lunar explorer. The video isn't available for download yet, but they do have a beautiful preview image.

Earth: A Borderline Planet for Life?

Our planet is changing before our eyes, and as a result, many species are living on the edge. Yet Earth has been on the edge of habitability from the beginning. New work shows that if Earth had been slightly smaller and less massive, it would not have plate tectonics-the forces that move continents and build mountains. And without plate tectonics, life might never have gained a foothold on our world.

1 in 5 Americans believe Sun revolves around the Earth

with my amazing 60% on our US citizenship score, i think i am the new leader of the pack unti those extra smart guys get back. in which case, we're all screwed anyway.

here's my fix. walk up the one in 5 of your friends who really truly believes that the sun revolves around the earth. then punch them. i think if you punch them often enough, they will come to their senses.

Earth's high octane colours captured by NASA's most advanced satellites

With their high octane colours and incredible detail they look more like canvassed art than landscapes of the earth. Captured by some of NASA's most advanced satellites hundreds of miles above the earth, these unusual and striking images show our planet like never before.

Water Experts Find Earth Warming, Rainfall Linked to Sun

A team of water experts says the pattern of droughts and floods in South Africa shows our global warming was triggered by the variability of the sun’s irradiance rather than by human-emitted CO2. They say variations in South African rainfall patterns are keyed to periodic reversals of the sun’s magnetic field—and to the constantly changing distance between the sun and the earth as both move through space.

Huge Stockpile of Oxygen Found Deep Inside Earth

A mineral that acts like a sponge beneath Earth's surface stores more oxygen than expected, keeping our planet from becoming dry and inhospitable like Mars. The key to the abundant oxygen storage is the mineral majorite, which exists deep below Earth's surface in the mantle. Without the oxygen stockpile, Earth would probably be a barren planet hostile to life.

Is Earth's Magnetic Field getting ready to "flip?"

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests the Earth's magnetic field is about to disappear (at least for a while). As the magnetic poles shift position, it will have a significant effect on our terrestrial weather as well as all the gadgets we've launched into Earth orbit.

Origin of "Breathable" Atmosphere on Earth Found

Geologists have uncovered evidence of when Earth may have first supported an oxygen-rich atmosphere similar to the one we breathe today. The study suggests that upheavals in the earth’s crust initiated a kind of reverse-greenhouse effect 500 million years ago that cooled the world’s oceans, spawned giant plankton blooms, and sent a burst of oxygen into the atmosphere.
