An asteroid as wide as Dubai's Burj Kalifa skyscraper is tall will pass surprisingly close to Earth just hours after Halloween.
One month after the NASA asteroid collision success, what have scientists learned? | Tech News
Carolyn Ernst, a planetary scientist responsible for DART's sole instrument told Space.com, "It's been a thrill to see the data come in. Everybody's been eagerly poring over them and busy working on them.
There was certain information scientists knew even before they began the mission. For instance, Dimorphos is part of a two asteroid system and is the smaller one of the two. As a result it orbits the larger Didymos. While Dimorphos is about 160-meter wide, Didymos spread 780-meters across.
NASA Probe Captures Haunting Images of Earth and Moon
NASA's Lucy spacecraft got its first view of the Earth-Moon system one year after launching from its home planet to explore a distant swarm of asteroids.
The first image was taken on October 13, when Lucy was 890,000 miles (1.4 million kilometers) away from Earth. The spacecraft was still making its way towards our planet for the close flyby and was able to capture the Earth-Moon system in the same frame.
Asteroid sample suggests more complex early solar system chemistry | KJZZ
Since then, scientists around the world have been analyzing what's essentially a rocky record of our solar system's infancy.
A new paper in the journal Science Advances supports the hypothesis that the early solar system was more chemically diverse than once thought.
2 dust tails spotted after NASA DART impacted asteroid | CBS 17
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN)—Two new dust tails have been spotted from the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system, according to NASA Officials.
These tails were seen after NASA crashed the DART spacecraft into the asteroid to test the ability to change the orbit of an asteroid, officials shared.
Comets vs. asteroids: Here are 7 differences between the two very common objects
Sometime around 4.5 billion years ago, the genesis of the Solar System saw the eventual creation of the Sun and all the planets we are so familiar with. But it also gave birth to many much smaller things too, like comets and asteroids.
While most stay where they formed, sometimes these bodies can be pulled out of their homes by gravitational forces to come and visit us in the inner Solar System. Some even collide with planets and moons from time to time.
Near Earth Asteroid detection during 2022 Taurid swarm? | IMO
Among all meteor showers, Taurids are very specific: their activity period is quite long, and overtakes the Anthelion source for a few months. The radiant of the Southern and Northern banches are also very diffuse compared to classical radiants.
Furthermore, Taurids also displays dramatic events. Some years, number of meteors and their brightness increases during the period extending from end of October to beginning of November.

POSITIVE VIBES: We can disagree and still be friends | Opinion | fltimes.com
I'm certain that no two people on Earth will agree on everything. We are shaped by our own unique combination of DNA and environment.
I've seen identical twins really go at it when arguing. Which is fine. Everybody disagrees with somebody sometimes. But that doesn't mean we can't still get along.
How Florida Gators can get upset win vs. UGA football
That was the headline in the Hindustan Times a couple of months ago. An asteroid named 2022QP3 was speeding our way at 18,000 mph. It reportedly missed our planet, but Gators can always hope a 2022QP4 is out there.
They'd still convert 11 of 14 third-down attempts against the Gators, but Florida would hold on to win the 100th edition of the border war.
