BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhuanet) -- NASA scientists have detected a gigantic sonic boom and a "musical" of deep sounds generated by a supermassive black hole in the Virgo cluster of galaxies.
"We can tell that many deep and different sounds have been rumbling through this cluster for most of the lifetime of the universe," said William Forman of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Thursday. |

Tuesday October 10, 2006 The Guardian It has survived storms, famines and droughts over the past 12 centuries, but now the Road to Santiago, one of the oldest pilgrimage routes in Europe, is buckling under the weight of a new threat - the common louse.
Convents and hostels along the route to the north-western Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela are closing their doors as the tiny beasts bury themselves deep inside mattresses, sheets and pillows. Carried by the 100,000 sweating and not always well-washed pilgrims who travel to the shrine of St James in the city's cathedral every year, the lice have found a perfect environment in which to live and reproduce. |

US researchers have discovered a link between Atlantic hurricane activity and thick clouds of dust that periodically rise up from the Sahara Desert.
At times of intense hurricane activity, dust clouds were scarce, but in years with stronger dust storms, fewer hurricanes swept across the Atlantic. The work raises the tantalising possibility that Saharan dust storms could help to quench hurricanes. |
