Most of us are content with the idea of becoming a millionaire. The ambitious aim for the billionaire club and perhaps only tech companies can dream of being in T-club.
But what if you become a 'quintilllionaire'? With 18 zeroes in your net worth, the Bezoses and Musks of the world wouldn't stand a chance against you.
Kilometer-Long Asteroid Will Zoom Past Earth In Two Weeks | IFLScience
On January 18 at 9:51 pm UTC, stony asteroid (7482) 1994 PC1 will safely fly by Earth. The 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) long object is a potentially hazardous object, as it gets very close to our planet and is big enough to cause incredible devastation if it were to hit.
This passage is the closest for at least the next 172 years so, despite its potential to be dangerous, we can rest assured that this space rock is not going to hit our planet any time soon.
AFRL detects moon around asteroid with smallest telescope yet
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base have detected a moon orbiting an asteroid with the smallest telescope they’ve ever used. AFRL reports that on Nov.
The telescope used was only 1.5 meters in diameter. AFRL reports that typically, larger eight to ten-meter diameter telescopes such as those on mountaintops in Hawaii or Chile are used to view asteroids that are faint to begin with and their moons are even fainter.
An asteroid one kilometer long will approach Earth on January 18
A large asteroid will approach Earth on January 18. The space rock is about 1 km long and will pass us a safe distance of 1.93 million km – roughly 5.15 times the distance between Earth and the Moon. Our planet will take place at 6:51 PM Brasilia Time.
The asteroid, classified as (7482) 1994 PC1, was discovered in 1994 by astronomer Robert McNutt. The last time it passed close to Earth was in 1933, at a distance of 1.1 million km. Despite being a little closer at the time, there were also no collision risks.
NASA spacecraft that will slam into asteroid sent back its first photo | TweakTown
Two weeks after launching, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission has already sent back its first images.
NASA launched its DART mission back at the end of November, and two weeks after the launch, the spacecraft destined to collide with an asteroid opened its " eye " called Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) to snap images of its journey.

This 'UFO' rover could hover on the moon and asteroids one day | Space
Air is invisible but mighty: birds harness it to fly, planes on Earth and distant machines like NASA's Ingenuity helicopter on Mars work with it to soar above the surface. Now, researchers are working on a new craft that could lift off the ground with no air at all.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) want to engineer a new kind of hovering spacecraft that can operate without air. Instead of relying on air like birds and planes, it will levitate using the electric charge available from interplanetary surfaces.
Asteroid with more force than biggest nuclear bomb to come close to earth in 2029, World News -
The bad news: An asteroid as big as the Eiffel Tower and named after a god of chaos is heading towards the Earth. The good news: It is expected to miss.
Scientists in Russia have projected that the asteroid Apophis will skim past the Earth in April 2029 in what could be the closest encounter the planet has had with a rock of its size.
Asteroids with lasers: A new way to detect gravitational waves? | astrobites
First Author's Institution: Department of Physics and Astronomy, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA
Let’s take a step back. Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime, stretching and compressing space as they move through the cosmos. The fractional change in length they induce is referred to as the strain , which oscillates in time and decreases farther from the source of the waves.
