November 13th 1970: Bhola cyclone

On this day in 1970, the Bhola Cyclone struck East Pakistan, which is now Bangladesh, and parts of India. Considered the deadliest natural disaster of the twentieth century, the 115 mile per hour cyclone killed around 500,000 people in a single night. The storm also caused mass flooding in many areas, especially the Ganges Delta, leading to thousands of deaths and the destruction of entire villages; additionally, the disaster led to around $86.4 million in damage. The cyclone formed on November 8th, and first struck land on the evening of November 12th, dissipating the next day. The government’s weak response to the catastrophe had ramifications for the country’s political system, as the opposition won a resounding victory in the province after the subsequent election.

But Mars doesn’t have Earth’s magnetic field, and that has made all the difference. Our magnetic field blocks solar wind - the high energy particles emitted by the sun.

Thanks to new data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) we know that this solar wind has been assaulting Mars for centuries, and as a result its atmosphere is constantly leaking into space.

Whopping Galaxy Cluster Spotted with Help of NASA Telescopes

Pasadena CA (JPL) Nov 09, 2015 Astronomers have discovered a giant gathering of galaxies in a very remote part of the universe, thanks to NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The galaxy cluster, located 8.5 billion light-years away, is the most massive structure yet found at such great distances. Galaxy clusters are gravitationally bound groups of thousands of galaxies, which th Full article
