	SPACE.com -- Astronomer Predicts Major Earthquake for Japan, Other Experts Express Doubts
		TOKYO (AP) _ A Japanese researcher is causing a stir in Tokyo with a prediction based on his study of radio waves that a major destructive earthquake is highly likely to hit the city this week.
		Yoshio Kushida, a well-known self-taught astronomer who runs his own observatory just outside Tokyo, published on its Internet site his prediction that a quake with a magnitude of 7 or greater was likely to strike the metropolitan area on Tuesday or Wednesday.
		Such warnings hit a sore nerve in Tokyo, which was ravaged by a quake and fire in 1923 that killed more than 120,000 people and which experts agree is overdue for another ``Big One.'' Still, some people said they'd rather be scared than unaware.

		While the Tokyo Bay area is given the photorealistic treatment, the rest of Japan is enhanced with 38m, 76m and 152m terrain mesh, making flights anywhere within Japan a whole new experience.
		The Tokyo Plain is rendered in exquisite photoreal detail, with literally hundreds of hand-made buildings, bridges, roads and other features that are unique to Tokyo, seamlessly integrated with the autogen scenery.
		Although not as authentic or detailed as the Tokyo basin, the detail is much higher due to the much better mesh, and as a result the flying experience anywhere in Japan is a whole step up from the default.

	Astronomer Had Predicted Major Japan Quake
		Yoshio Kushida, a well-known self-taught astronomer who runs his own observatory just outside Tokyo, published on its Internet site his prediction that a quake with a magnitude of 7 or greater was likely to strike the metropolitan area on Tuesday or Wednesday.
		His theory: as pressure builds in the Earth's crust before an earthquake, tiny cracks and magma movements can affect charged particles in the atmosphere, and the resulting electromagnetic changes can be picked up by radio receivers.
		Such warnings hit a sore nerve in Tokyo, which was ravaged by a quake and fire in 1923 that killed more than 120,000 people and which experts agree is overdue for another "Big One." Still, some people said they'd rather be scared than unaware.
