In 2023, NASA's #LucyMission flew by asteroid Dinkinesh, capturing images of a trough where the asteroid shifted and separated to form a binary satellite. 🪨Understanding the internal strength of both these bodies could reveal more about how planets like Earth formed.

This is how Jupiter protects Earth. It acts as a gatekeeper for our planet, preventing most asteroids from entering the inner orbits of the solar system.

I cannot wait for the next asteroid to hit and vaporize us all within seconds.

If Vesta asteroid hit Earth.

The Asteroid Belt

Asteroid hyalosis is an eye condition characterized by small, white, refractile opacities in the vitreous humor. These opacities resemble stars shining in the night sky due to their reflective nature.

I can certainly say that my Vagus Nerve Origin Theory is the true “Post Bennu” biological theory

All other theories in biology (and even sociopolitical domains) needs to be reworked in light of the Tubulin filaments found on that asteroid ☄️

This is like dinosaurs having their picture taken with an asteroid.

DO YOU
T H I N K
AN ASTEROID
NAMED 'APOPHIS'

WILL CRASH INTO EARTH
ON APRIL 13TH 2029?

Clearest image ever taken of asteroid Ryugu. The pitch black background is scary...

This asteroid has a moon. The robot spacecraft Galileo on route to Jupiter in 1993 encountered and photographed two asteroids during its long interplanetary voyage.

lads I’m in bits. Virgin Media news is after reporting on a hole on portmarnnock beach that ‘Could be the aftermath of a cosmic event’. Some fellas literally dug it the day before with a kid’s shovel

The way your man was talking about the rock being an asteroid had me in tears
