Quake in the Indian Ocean on the morning of 12.26.2004 A beautiful sky-blue morning.
 
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami occurred at 07:58:53 in local time on 26 December, with an epicentre off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. It was an undersea megathrust earthquake that registered a magnitude of 9.1–9.3 Mw, reaching a Mercalli intensity up to IX in certain areas. Wikipedia
 
Number of deaths: 227,898
Areas affected: Indian Ocean coastline areas
Location: Banda Aceh, Indonesia
 
Asteroids
A comet that you could actually jog from one end to the other in less than an hour is likely more than large enough to do serious damage – like the comet that killed the dinosaurs. (Not exactly the most comforting thought, but still kind of cool nonetheless.)
To help put the size of 7P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in perspective. Artist Matt Wang took a photo of the comet taken by the Rosetta spacecraft, and paired it alongside the city of L.A. As you can see, that’s one monstrous space rock. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about any danger of the comet colliding into our planet.
On the downside, there are dozens of similar comets and asteroids whizzing by our little blue orb all the time. And if any of those rocks hit our planet we won’t even be around to compare their size.
** Correction: NASA changed to European Space Agency (ESA)

Family photo taken in 1951 by Maurice LaClaire, Grand Rapids, Michigan
 
Roger(43) and Beatrice(44) Warnshuis, with son Roger(21), and daughters Marcia(19) and Mary Gwen(5).
 
Marcia Mcclimans (age 88) is a woman, born in 1932, currently listed on 3604 # St-347 Fulton St, Grand Rapids, 49546 Michigan.
 
This family photo interested me because of the time it was taken, just after WW 2, during the 4th phase of the Korean War, and while Harry Truman was president. The “50’s,” as we denote now, had yet to happen. But certainly, for some families, this was the beginning of the” two cars in every garage, and a nice home; the middle class was beginning its formation. I kept the lighting that was used in the photograph. The photo was taken in the living room, which at that time was quite small, say compared to what the size is in today’s homes. The Warnshuis family seems sequestered in this space, with windows covered in heavy drapes.
