NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced on Tuesday that an asteroid could pass extremely close to Earth next month, much closer than the Moon.
NASA says it has succeeded in deflecting an asteroid in a historic test of humanity's ability to stop an incoming cosmic object from devastating life on Earth. The fridge-sized Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impactor deliberately smashed into the moonlet asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, pushing it into a smaller, faster orbit around its big brother Didymos, says NASA chief Bill Nelson in a press conference from Washington. SOUNDBITE
As part of a traditional method to prevent influenza, Siberian schoolchildren often pour buckets of water over their heads outside in the winter, when temperatures hover right around 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, the children sit in a piping ho Russian sauna first. This traditional remedy was practiced for hundreds of years and Siberians swear it works. At the beginning of the academic year, parents have to confirm whether they permit their children to join such cool outdoor activities.
