Los Angeles lawmakers are considering a ban on the cultivation, sale and distribution of genetically modified organisms. Although some US cities already introduced GMO bans, this would make Los Angeles the largest GMO-free zone in the US. This news is
JMA is reporting that very strong earthquake M 7.1 struck off the east coast of Honshu at 17:10 UTC today. They measured depth at 10 km. Both USGS and EMSC are reporting major M 7.1 at depth of 10 and 7.3 km, respectively. JMA initially recorded M
AR 1882 erupted with major solar flare measuring X2.1 at 15:03 UTC on October 25, 2013.
Type II and IV radio emissions were associated with the event. Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the Sun and are typically associated with

After two M1.0 solar flares today, AR 1875 treated us with another one. At 21:20 UTC an impulsive solar flare measuring M4.2 erupted. A Type II Radio Emission was registered indicating a Coronal Mass Ejection was associated with the event. AR 1875 is in
Active Region 1875 erupted with second M-class solar flare today. The latest event started 14:49, peaked at 15:20 as M1.0 solar flare and ended at 15:28 UTC.

Comets contain elements such as water, ammonia, methanol and carbon dioxide that could have supplied the raw materials, in which upon impact on early Earth would have yielded an abundant supply of energy to produce amino acids and jump start life.
