Just as the earth has earthquakes, the moon has moonquakes. They are less common and intense than earthquakes and are believed to occur due to tidal stresses connected to the distance between the earth and the moon.

 

Apparently, Easter Island Heads have torsos...I did not know this.

 

Moai

There are around 1000 statues, up to 86 tons tons in weight and 10 m in height,
though average is around half of that.
95% of the moais were carved from the volcano Rani Raraku .
This location was chosen since it consists to a great extent of tuff, which is what the moais from this volcano consist of.
Tuff is compressed volcanic ash and is easy to carve,
which was necessary since the natives had no metal to carve with,
but used only stone tools

Yet another asteroid no-one knew was comming , flew past earth after not being spotted untill very close.

The object – officially known as Asteroid 2020 QU6 – was first spotted by Leonardo Amaral at the Campo dos Amarais observatory in Brazil

Interesting , since we've been looking for them with ever increasingly soffisticated and more expensive techknowlogy , for so long.

Nasa has been tasked by the US Congress to find and track 90 per cent of near-Earth objects that are 140 metres or bigger
by 2020.
But it has struggled to do so, amid appeals for more funding:
it has only found 40 per cent of those objects,
and isn't expected to get to its target for another 30 years.

Dose it matter ?
I don't think it matters in the least.
It's really only something of interest.

Nothing we could do about it anyway.
Where will it hit ,
with the earth rotating a full turn every 24 hours.
Where you gonna run to

 

There won't be any peeps this Halloween because of the pandemic.

This 'Karen' mask is being called the scariest Halloween costume of 2020

ABC News By ZOE MOORE

What's the scariest thing you can be for Halloween 2020?

A "Karen," according to Los Angeles-based artist Jason Adcock.


Adcock debuted a scary "Karen" mask this year, and it's taken the internet by storm.

"2020 is the year of the KAREN! Scare all ur friends with ur big hair and narrow mind," Adcock, 34, wrote on Instagram.

Adcock told "Good Morning America" that his idea stemmed from having a dark sense of humor.

"I've kind of seen Karens in the wild my whole life, and I just thought it would be kind of a funny thing to make for Halloween, and I didn't think it would really take off," he said. "Karen is transcendent of all gender and size. She is just like a modern day tyrant. Anybody evil can be a Karen."

The term "Karen" took on a new meaning in 2020 stemming from multiple racially charged incidents involving women calling the police on Black men. The moniker has come to signify white women acting entitled and has sparked thousands of memes. The term has been around for several years, with the origin largely unknown.


Adcock, who moved to Los Angeles seven years ago to do special effects work but found his way into the retail space, said he posted the mask on Facebook first, thinking he could make a few for family and friends. But after receiving many inquiries, he posted the handmade masks for sale on Etsy.

"I initially would just sell on Facebook and mask collector groups, and then once 'Karen' started getting a lot of traction, I switched over to Etsy," he explained.

Now he's selling two versions of his "Karen" mask on Etsy for $180 each. The expensive price tag is because each mask is handmade. He said he's sold so many that orders are backed up for four weeks.

Adcock said he's received some backlash for his mask for taking aim at people named Karen, but defends it as a joke: "Just take it for what it is: a funny Halloween mask. I'm not here to ruin anybody's day. I'm just trying to make people laugh."
