- Good news! Black hole won't destroy Earth
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  This potential "black hole factory" has raised fears that a stray black hole could devour our planet whole. The Lifeboat Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to safeguarding humanity from what it considers threats to our existence, has stated that artificial black holes could "threaten all life on Earth" and so it proposes to set up "self-sustaining colonies elsewhere."

- Potentially Habitable Planet Found
  Posted by Jeff from AP News
  For the first time astronomers have discovered a planet outside our solar system that is potentially habitable, with Earth-like temperatures, a find researchers described Tuesday as a big step in the search for "life in the universe." The planet is just the right size, might have water in liquid form, and in galactic terms is relatively nearby at 120 trillion miles away.

- Giant Slab of Earth's Crust Found Near Core
  Posted by Billbar from Live Science
  A huge slab of folded Earth that scientists think used to be part of the ocean floor has been detected near the planet's core. The discovery supports the theory that Earth's crust is constantly recycled deep into the planet as molten material from below simultaneously pushes up to refresh the surface.

Here's a list of events going on around the globe. It's hardly exhaustive, but if you are not near one of these shindigs, why not throw a similar soiree wherever it is you live? Just one request: If you were considering hugging a tree, why don't you plant one instead?

- Seed: State of the Planet 2006
  Posted by Damianmann from Seed Magazine
  Whether this or future Earth Days help solve any particular environmental problems won't matter a bit, unless we tackle the biggie—climate change. Bill McKibben, who sounded the alarm two decades ago with his landmark book The End of Nature, reviews the damage and points the way forward. The x-factor in preventing catastrophe, he says, will be whether the American public—with its financial and cultural power to move mountains—sort of gets it, or really gets it.
