When one looks at DO events, one wonders why did they happen. There has been no diffinitive proof that I have read as of yet. If someone else has read something, please share. I think the glaciation of earth results from the orbit through the galaxy. The explainations that we have had as of yet of all things known, and not fitting, point to the unknown. Is the reason that they are unknown because, we as humans, with our current tech have not experienced them before? When one looks at oral histories, which I personally deem important, it is easy to see mysterious things with no causation except for God's way etc. I think we have much to learn as of yet. I would tend to agree. I have seen discussions about ice ages having to do with our position on the galactic plane. Every time we humans say that something couldn't possibly have an effect it turns out it does. |

About 30 miles NE of Crater Lake in Oregon; is that a crater or a volcano cordillera? Did a little web investigating, and you might be interested to know that one of the small craters just east of the large landform you pointed out is known as "Hole in the Ground". Somewhat of a tourist attraction, it seems. Located at 24′ 10.47″ N, 121° 11′ 54.05″ W , near Silver Lake - Fort Rock, OR, if you want to put it in Google Earth. It's a volcanic explosion crater/ maar. There are several others in the same area, so it seems likely that the large one in the pic I posted is also volcanic. |

I think I should have said "caldera" given that the formation is possibly of volcanic origin. If it is, it would seem to be approaching the size of the Yellowstone caldera.

You think it might be part of the same system(supervolcano). Just a different vent? Yellowstone's Plumbing Exposed: www.newswise.com/articles/view/559564/?sc=dwhr;xy=10002094 |

Yellowstone's Plumbing Exposed: www.newswise.com/articles/view/559564/?sc=dwhr;xy=10002094Seems likely, since the Yellowstone "hotspot" was beneath that general area around 15-20 million years ago. You can track the location of it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_supervolcano#OriginThat said, there is no reason why a meteor couldn't hit the same location. They are not mutually exclusive events.  |

I wouldn't worry about it. Compared to what mother nature can and has delivered on occasion that bomb wasn't even a firecracker. As you can see, I am an amateur, and while i am almost positive we don't have much effect on the Earth as a chunk of rock flying through space, we definitely change things for ourselves and other things on this rock.
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34509513/ns/health-cancer/We already know that extraterrestrial energy affects us, I personally get major migraines during geomagnetic storms(amongst other causes). But what about viceversa? Aside from "health hazards", we cause light pollution, and other forms of energy pollution that isn't, so to say natural(on a large scale). What kind of an effect does it have on the magnetosphere, as somewhere it was mentioned that the Electric Grid can act as receiver, hence the blackout in Canada in the 90's. |

All life changes it's environment to benefit itself. Nothing unusual in that. And all life competes (violently ) for reproductive rights, resources, territory, etc. , including plants and insects. Birds, bees, ants, and squirrels build nests and protect their territory through warfare, beavers build dams and divert waterways; plants use chemical warfare to exclude other species of plants, kill insects that feed on them, and on and on. Technology is not restricted to humanity. We are just as much a part of the "natural" order of things as any other species. We just happen to be at the top of the food chain for now, which in my view is rather pleasing.  |

Women's hormones give me severe headaches too, vicariously.
Another bad news day for Earth would be the radiation from an exploding star. Betelgeuse seems to be in its death throes (about 600 years ago) but luckily its poles aren't pointing towards us. The Ordovician extinction is blamed by some on a gamma ray burst destroying the ozone layer.

bxs.. anything with metal in will act as a receiver. Transformers blow, induced electric currents spike in electronics, which is different than a cosmic ray destroying the chip in your computer
