Potentially Hazardous’ Asteroid Flying Between The Moon And Earth This Week In Rare Event (Forbes)
A 200-foot (58 meters) wide asteroid is set to fly much closer to our planet than the distance to the moon this Saturday.
This big space rock is much larger than almost all others ever found cruising inside the moon’s orbit.
There is a miniscule chance it could hit us when it returns in 2026.

Did evolution occur before life even existed? (Salon)
A New study sheds light on how amino acids "evolved.
Ancient proteins offer new clues about origin of life on Earth
The research shows how a soup of amino acids could have been winnowed down to the few that ended up being part of all future cells

What did the pyramids look like when they were first built? (livescience.com)
The ancient Egyptian pyramids have stood for thousands of years and are among the world's most enduring monuments. But over the millennia, the pyramids have changed, largely due to construction workers' repurposing of in-demand materials and looting.
Builders used 6.1 million tons (5.5 million metric tons) of limestone.
