A Massive Asteroid Is Heading Our Way And NASA Is Re-Routing An Old Spacecraft To Visit It
This mosaic of Bennu was created using observations made by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft that was in ... [+] close proximity to the asteroid for over two years.
Remember NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft that visited the distant Bennu asteroid and scraped-up a sample in October 2020.

First, we get to see the latter part of a lunar eclipse on May 15. The eclipsed moon will rise at 20:52 in the ESE and climb to about 7 degrees above the SE horizon by 21:55 at which time the moon will begin to exit the umbra – the total shadow cone of the Earth.
On a separate matter, on the afternoon of April 22, I inadvertently confirmed Sir Isaac Newton’s theory of gravitation by stepping on a wet patch after cleaning my vinyl deck.
If Earth is destroyed by an asteroid strike, THIS HUMAN SEED bank has our back | Tech News
Over the years, scientists have come up with various ways to combat an asteroid strike situation. From NASA working on shooting nuclear weapons to destroy asteroids to China's plans of redirecting an asteroid using rocket boosters, there are many solutions being worked on.
From a customer perspective, it has a certain sentimental appeal to it. One of the testimonials on the platform reads, "So when people see the Moon, I will be there. Especially for my daughters, so my light can always guide them even in the dark of night".
NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe will visit a second asteroid
Apophis originally drew interest over fears it would strike the Earth in 2029. Researchers put that worry to rest, but it's still a highly valuable subject.
The extension won't come cheap. A visit to Apophis will add $200 million to the cost ceiling of a mission that's already expected to cost $1.16 billion. Even so, it might be worthwhile if it helps humanity better understand asteroids and the risks they may pose to Earth.
