The Tunguska event of 1908, probably caused by the impact of a cometary body, has also been postulated by Czechoslovakian astronomer Ľubor Kresák as a fragment of Comet Encke.[16]

Comet Encke is believed to have entered the inner solar system millennia ago and was prevented from returning to the Kuiper Belt by the gravity of Jupiter. Comet Encke orbits our Sun once every 3.3 years, which is the quickest shortest orbital period of any comet. It never orbits beyond Jupiter. Like other comets it once spent the majority of its life in the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud. However, on one particular orbit centuries or millennia ago, it was prevented from returning to the Kuiper Belt by the gravity of Jupiter, which kept it in the inner solar system.

A fire pot is a container, usually earthenware, for carrying fire. Fire pots have been used since prehistoric times to transport fire from one place to another, for warmth while on the move, for cooking , in religious ceremonies and even as weapons of war.

Prometheus, the classical fire finder, is most widely known in literature. But of all the helpful gods of mythology, Maui, the mischievous Polynesian, is beyond question the hero of the largest numbers of nations scattered over the widest extent of territory. Prometheus belonged to Rome, but Maui belonged to the length and breadth of the Pacific Ocean.

Seismologists have warned that North Korea's repeated nuclear tests could cause its highest mountain Mount Paekdu to erupt - and they add that one of the volcano's previous eruptions was "one of the largest explosive events in human history".

While it might, at first, seem reasonable to derive cause and effect between nuclear testing and natural earth movements, closer inspection of the comparative scales of these events, along with a review of past US nuclear test experience in similar geologic environments, suggests that the likelihood of any such a connection is extremely remote.
... ... ...
Beyond the significantly greater number of tests than the five conducted to date by North Korea, the yields of those tests in a few cases exceeded one megaton (1,000 kilotons), which exceed by more than 50 times that of the maximum yield of North Korea’s five underground tests (15-20 kilotons was the largest event to date).
The NTS is located 289 kilometers southeast of Mammoth Mountain on the rim of the massive Long Valley Caldera, one of the largest volcanic calderas on earth.[5] Portions of the test site are also covered by a sequence of airborne volcanic deposits (tertiary volcanic tuffs) and basalts. The site is closer to a number of other areas of volcanism, being just 79 kilometers southeast of the Timber Mountain volcanic area. Timber Mountain’s eruptive history consisted of three episodes: 12 to 8.5 million years ago, 9.0 to 6.5 million years ago, and 3.7 million to less than 10,000 years ago.
Despite decades of very high yield underground nuclear testing at NTS, at no time was there any hint of an induced volcanic eruption.

it's ironic how the naysaying goes on how improbable a volcano going off is from weapons tests, when the probability of the weapons made from the testing going off is off the charts!...hmmph...top of 6th...one out...something political happened after that last North Korean test...bit of a muddle...Calhoun up...9 for 95...line out...bottom of 6th Angels 4-0...fog horn...one out solo homer for the Jays...Smith's first...Trout up...someone is on...Hermesio?...Kinsler?...K...Upton up...squiber...sac...Kinsler doubled stole third, scores...Pujols up...well, I've run out of stepping stones for my prehistoric musings!...K...to bottom of 7th...ground out to Simmons..."best shortstop in baseball"...oh...that volcano is sacred to the North Koreans, and to the Chinese...so, so, maybe they have taken it to heart that the tests are disturbing it...Ohtani up...Jays made out...top of 8th...not that there aren't plenty of stepping stones...W...second of the day...Simmons up...and leading AL in hitting?...Simmons is 8th in batting average...Boston's Mookie first...W...Trout is leading in on base percentage...Ohtani would be on the list I think, but hasn't enough plate appearances...Ohtani thought ball would be caught, caught halfway...thrown out going to third...9-5...hmmph...a gaff...Valbuena lost his hit...a fc...Maldanado whaps one...Simmons scores...Angels 6-1...Calhoun up...takes...ball one...grounder fc...Valbuena in rundown going home...Kinsler flies out...bottom 8th...pre history is a strange tale...it never seems to resolve...always mysteries...K...one away...Tropeano still on the mound...and...is being relieved...first pitch one out double...K...Alverez coming in for Rameriz...

- Aristotle gave the butterfly the name psyche , the Greek word for soul.
- Many cultures relate butterflies to the human soul. In ancient Greek the word for butterfly is "psyche" which means "soul", and was also the name of Eros' human lover.
