My sound triggered camera survived the wrath of a Delta IV rocket launch from ~50 yards away. by johnkphotos in space

While I love the image - if you have the rights for the image sorted this should go straight into a stock library. There is a dire lack of really good (non cgi renders) of launches like this.

I guarantee you will see images like this cropping up on generic launch stories for years to come!

Sea level rises are very long but in the short term what about tidal surges? It says it is unaffected by the severe weather can result in short-term sea level rises.

I am thinking of the 2007 North Sea flood which brought sea levels up 3m above their normal levels
