PASADENA, Calif. - NASA and Ohio State University researchers have discovered the major tsunami generated by the March 2011 Tohoku-Oki quake centered off northeastern Japan was a long-hypothesized merging t

Data from NASA and European radar satellites captured at least two wave fronts that day. The fronts merged to form a single, double-high wave far out at sea. This wave was capable of traveling long distances without losing power. Ocean ridges and undersea mountain chains pushed the waves together along certain directions from the tsunami s origin.The discovery helps explain how tsunamis can cross ocean basins to cause massive destruction at some locations while leaving others unscathed. The data raise hope that scientists may b

They also knew that Soviet ships were big enough and sturdy enough to accommodate several cosmonauts and the necessary equipment and airlock for a spacewalk. American spaceships of the time had to be lighter, as the U.S. had not developed booster technology to lift spacecraft as heavy as the Soviets ;. The exact technology used by Leonov remained a mystery for the time
