- The strongest earthquake in 40 years, with a magnitude of 9.0, rocks the Indian Ocean off Sumatra; tremors and subsequent tsunamis result in over 23,000 deaths in Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand and other adjacent coastal areas.
- NASA issues its highest level asteroid threat warning ever, giving 2004 MN&4 a four on the ten-point Torino scale. Astronomers say this near-Earth asteroid has a 1 in 37 (2.7 percent chance of collision with Earth on April 13, 2029. Should it impact the Earth, large-scale regional damage could result. Astronomers around the world continue to watch over the asteroid in hopes that the risk can be mathematically eliminated.
- Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko is declared winner of the rerun of the runoff presidential election in Ukraine, with 12,000 international observers acting as supervisors.
