Ancient Mass Extinctions Caused by Cosmic Radiation, Scientists Say
The Kansas researchers discovered that high rates of extinction in the cycle coincide almost perfectly with periodic "excursions" of the solar system outside the central plane of the Milky Way galaxy.
"Excursions to galactic north coincide with drops in biodiversity," Melott said.
During these periods, which include some of the largest mass extinctions known from the fossil record, Earth is bombarded with high levels of cosmic radiation.
As for what lies ahead, the news is mixed. The solar system has recently passed the galactic mid-plane and is on its way up, Melott said, which could mean greater exposure to radiation.
But, he added, "the next cosmic ray effect is about ten million years ahead of us."

CNN Is An Awful Tease
My heart was set all a-twitter when I encountered this gem during my daily news trolling:
But alas, those two glorious words were naught but a typo flashed across the screen for a delicious 12 seconds. While Bush’s English counterpart has gracefully announced his resignation as Prime Minister, our own chickenhawk remains steadfastly in his coop, head forever in the sand.
