Wait, #Kalshi is doing $4B a week now? Where's that #asteroid☄️ on a collision course with Earth I was promised?! I'm ready for the big one to put us out of our misery.

Special Call for Observations:

Trans-Neptunian object (136108) Haumea occults UCAC4 524-056397 (Vmag 14.7) on 2026 May 04.
Haumea has two moons and a ring!
An occultation by the ring can be observed from central Europe. Be aware: this is a very challenging observation.

Astronomer Finds a Shortcut to Mars by Following an Asteroid’s Journey Through Space

Orbital data from asteroid 2001 CA21 points to a potential 153-day round-trip journey to Mars.

Das Architekturbüro Clouds AO hat ein Konzept für einen Wolkenkratzer entwickelt, der an einem Asteroiden über der Erde schwebt. Das Gebäude hätte keinen permanenten „Standort“, sondern würde zwischen der nördlichen und südlichen Hemisphäre pendeln. #sfcd #asteroid #wolkenkratzer #cloudsao #science

In air combat, they say if you see a missile that doesn’t appear to move relative to the background, it’s headed right at you.

Would an asteroid headed to earth appear stationary in the terminal phase? Could it appear stationary (or damned near) far enough in advance to be a useful warning?
