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.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/44955/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/44955/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Nearest Star System Might Harbor Earth Twin ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Earth may have a twin orbiting one of our nearest stellar neighbors, a new study suggests.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/53525/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/53525/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[The flat earth society]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Flat Earth Society considers the notion of a round earth to be a conspiracy.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/36345/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/36345/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Secret Places of the Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA[Google Earth has some amazing and interesting images to be found.

From 1838 to 1858, the star called Eta Carinae brightened to rival the light of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, and then faded to a dim star. Since 1940 it has been brightening again, and scientists think Eta Carinae will detonate in 10,000 to 20,000 years.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/46371/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/46371/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange Portal Connects Earth to Sun]]></title><description><![CDATA[Like giant, cosmic chutes between the Earth and sun, magnetic portals open up every eight minutes or so to connect our planet with its host star.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/80994/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/80994/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Real Life  Canvas Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA[A combination of roads and some storm damage to trees created a very realistic Canvas-Earth type picture.<br/><br/>For those who don't aren't familar with the term, &quot;Canvas Earth&quot;:<br/><div style='display:block;width:300px;overflow:hidden;'><a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.worth1000.com/galleries.asp?rel=Canvas+Earth" rel="nofollow">http://www.worth1000.com/galleries.asp?rel=Canvas+Earth</a></div>]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/arts/l/4061/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/arts/l/4061/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Electrified Deep Earth Changing Length of Day]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tiny changes to the length of days on Earth may be due to a mineral in the deep Earth that conducts electricity at high rates, a new study says.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/57040/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/57040/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Unbelievable Sights Of Google Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA[Earth is full of mysteries and life, and it isn't as big as we perceive it to be.<br/>Hope you all enjoy.LINK IS FIXED.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/12273/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/12273/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Is Earth's Magnetic Field getting ready to &quot;flip?&quot;]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is a growing body of evidence that suggests the Earth's magnetic field is about to disappear (at least for a while).
