Asteroid That's 3 Times As Long As a Football Field Will Whiz by Earth Thursday

Omg! I am going to stay in bed tomorrow!

Is that an American football field or an association football field?

[Catherine]

Me too! It's also super hot in UK tomorrow!

We'll know when it gets here. I guess the bed is as safe a place can be under the circumstances.😉

Super hot? Does it EVER get super hot here? It certainly gets super wet quite often.

Does this mean that we are not alone???🤔

[Bernard]

I dont think there is any suggestion that intelligence is involved. But who knows what advanced lifeforms may be out there? See Doctor Who, Star Trek, etc.

[Bernard]

Correction: I read in the Times that an eminent scientist (unnamed) DOES think that aliens are involved!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Oh my! Then space is not the final frontier then...🤔
Just the brink of more...

[Bernard]

If the big bang theory is correct, there is a limit to the universe, but it is a LONG way out!

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Hmmm... interesting. Needs to be looked into through the HUBBLE no less!

Hooray for Asteroid Day!

It is an obvious idea, but some amazing technology was needed to make it a reality.

[Grasshopper, Administrator]

Yes indeed. Thanks Bernard.

Hooray! I am going to bake an Aphelion Cake to celebrate!

Here is a historical post: The Sputnik was the first artificial satellite, launched in 1957. The name just means satellite, but is a nicer name I think.

Interesting! The "cold" is relative, it would still give us nasty burns, but the sun never ceases to surprise us.

That is true Bernard. Cold is relative indeed.

🔭NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has spotted a supermassive black hole that defies current theories about the universe and shouldn’t actually exist

🌎Earth’s magnetic field, critical to all life, may be in danger from 'leaking core'

[Bernard]

Oh! Has anyone told the black hole that it should not exist?

Soon it is the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. But today the Daily Mail gave me a related poster. It has detailed diagrams of the rocket and modules. The command module computer had less memory than a modern washing machine!

The 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. I was on holiday. As we walked through the dark streets, we saw people congregated outside a shop. A TV in the window was showing the moon landing. An eerie experience, but one we knew was a giant leap for humanity.

It would be interesting to visit the moon in the future, and see how robot society is developing.
