July 25, 2019 2.41am EDT http://theconversation.com/an-asteroid-just-buzzed-past-earth-and-we-barely-noticed-in-time-120972 "A 100-metre-wide
asteroid passed just 70,000km from Earth on Thursday, Australian time. It was discovered by the Brazilian SONEAR survey just days ago, and its
presence was announced mere hours before it zoomed past our planet. The lack of warning shows how quickly potentially dangerous asteroids can
sneak up on us."

#cosmology Tracer galaxies probe the cosmic background - The universe, perhaps surprisingly, is not comprised of galaxies randomly distributed
throughout space; that is, it is not very homogeneous. Instead, its galaxies are clustered into distinct structures, typically gigantic filaments separated by
vast voids the "large-scale structure (LSS)," an architecture whose discovery and mappings were pioneered by CfA astronomers about thirty years ago.

#moon #space Jul 10, 2019 28:48 When NASA s Apollo 11 mission sent the first astronauts to the moon 50 years ago, there were many things we didn t know. Like whether the moon s surface would turn out to be a field of quicksand, if space germs would infect the astronauts, or what exactly the moon was made of. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, we join forces with the National Air and Space Museum's podcast, AirSpace, to explore the mysteries of lunar science: what we didn't know then, and what we still don't know today.

#aliens #humor #ethics #foods Storming Area 51 - Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer - Aug 1, 2019 | SETI Institute https://www.seti.org/storming-area-51 "The idea for this effort was birthed on Facebook, and it was clearly intended as a joke. But so was Johnny Carson s 1973 claim that the U.S. was running out of toilet paper an offhand attempt at humor that triggered a real shortage. So joke or no, the hordes might really show up at the closely guarded federal facility. BookMaker, an Internet betting site, is already weighing the odds of a tsunami of citizens storming the chain-links and, if they do, the chances that they ll find any aliens mothballed inside. It s all good fun (unless, perhaps, you re a security guard for the Air Force.) But should you go? And, really, is there any reason to believe that extraterrestrials are stacked up at Area 51?"
