Most of the oxygen that we breathe on Earth is thought to have come from explosions similar to this one.]]></description><comments>0</comments><score>182</score><crdate>3/12/2008 9:16:07 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-03-12T21:16:07+01:00</atomdate></link><link><id>48852</id><url>http://www.plime.com/science/l/48852/1/</url><title><![CDATA[Space impact creates giant mushroom cloud]]></title><description><![CDATA[A mushroom-shaped hydrogen cloud rearing 1000 light years above the plane of our galaxy is the aftermath of a massive gas cloud that dive-bombed the Milky Way.]]></description><comments>0</comments><score>195</score><crdate>1/30/2008 2:42:05 AM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-01-30T02:42:05+01:00</atomdate></link><link><id>46817</id><url>http://www.plime.com/science/l/46817/1/</url><title><![CDATA[Big Space Thing Looks Like a Moth]]></title><description><![CDATA[A moth-like structure with a 22-billion-mile wingspan is hovering out in space.
