Because, in the event that a comet or asteroid comes hurtling toward Earth, he may be the guy responsible for saving the entire planet. http://www.huliq.com/11/79812/how-deflect-asteroids-and-save-earth#comments Science asteroids Earth Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:05:16 -0500 harminka 79812 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78955/astronomers-observe-asteroid-it-crashes-earth UK astronomers, using the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) William Herschel Telescope on La Palma, observed a rare asteroid as it was hurtling towards our planet and have captured the only spectrum of it before it exploded in our atmosphere. http://www.huliq.com/11/78955/astronomers-observe-asteroid-it-crashes-earth#comments Science asteroids Universe Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:51:24 -0500 harminka 78955 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75698/scientists-publish-first-ever-evidence-asteroids-earth-crust Two rare meteorites found in Antarctica two years ago are from a previously unknown, ancient asteroid with an outer layer or crust similar in composition to the crust of Earth's continents, reports a research team primarily composed of geochemists from the University of Maryland. http://www.huliq.com/11/75698/scientists-publish-first-ever-evidence-asteroids-earth-crust#comments Science Antarctica asteroids meteorites Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:28:26 -0600 harminka 75698 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/75668/half-baked-asteroids-have-earth-crust Asteroids are hunks of rock that orbit in the outer reaches of space, and scientists have generally assumed that their small size limited the types of rock that could form in their crusts. http://www.huliq.com/11/75668/half-baked-asteroids-have-earth-crust#comments Science asteroids meteorites Wed, 07 Jan 2009 15:04:51 -0600 harminka 75668 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/74065/how-destroy-asteroid In the hit 1998 movie Armageddon, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck blew up an asteroid to save the world. While the film was science fiction, the chances of an asteroid hitting the Earth one day are very real ― and blowing up an asteroid in real life, says a Tel Aviv University researcher, will be more complicated than in the movies. http://www.huliq.com/11/74065/how-destroy-asteroid#comments Science asteroids Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:38:28 -0600 harminka 74065 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/71520/solar-systems-young-twin-has-two-asteroid-belts Astronomers have discovered that the nearby star Epsilon Eridani has two rocky asteroid belts and an outer icy ring, making it a triple-ring system. The inner asteroid belt is a virtual twin of the belt in our solar system, while the outer asteroid belt holds 20 times more material. http://www.huliq.com/11/71520/solar-systems-young-twin-has-two-asteroid-belts#comments Science asteroids Solar System Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:55:01 -0500 harminka 71520 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/71412/long-distance-relationship-2-asteroids In the outer reaches of our solar system, beyond Pluto, two small asteroids are caught in each other's gravitational fields.

The use of steroids has been suspected in professional baseball and other sports where building muscle strength, rather than endurance, is paramount. http://www.huliq.com/11/69224/anabolic-steroids-provide-competitive-edge-power-lifting-years#comments Health asteroids testosterone Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:52:17 -0500 harminka 69224 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/63386/exploding-asteroid-theory-strengthened-new-evidence-located-ohio Geological evidence found in Ohio and Indiana in recent weeks is strengthening the case to attribute what happened 12,900 years ago in North America -- when the end of the last Ice Age unexpectedly turned into a phase of extinction for animals and humans – to a cataclysmic comet or asteroid explosion over top of Canada. http://www.huliq.com/63386/exploding-asteroid-theory-strengthened-new-evidence-located-ohio#comments Science asteroids climate change Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:29:12 -0500 harminka 63386 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/63226/expert-nuclear-devices-can-defend-against-asteroids Nuclear explosive devices are the most effective means of protecting Earth from possible collisions with space bodies, including comets and asteroids, a Russian nuclear physicist told RIA Novosti on Tuesday. http://www.huliq.com/63226/expert-nuclear-devices-can-defend-against-asteroids#comments Science asteroids Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:41:06 -0500 Armen Hareyan 63226 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/62302/new-test-makes-cheating-drugs-sports-easier-detect A new mass spectrometry test can help sports anti-drug doping officials to detect whether an athlete has used drugs that boost naturally occurring steroid levels. The test is more sensitive compared to previous alternatives, more capable of revealing specific suspicious chemical in the body, faster to perform, and could be run on standard drug-screening laboratory equipment. http://www.huliq.com/62302/new-test-makes-cheating-drugs-sports-easier-detect#comments Health asteroids drugs Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:25:22 -0500 harminka 62302 at http://www.huliq.com
