Why NASA Just Crashed Into an Asteroid: NASA has taken a major step toward protecting Earth from dangerous asteroids.
theatlantic.com/science/archive/2022/09/nasa-asteroid-deflection-test-dart/671565/
Quick Glance: NASA's spacecraft collides with an asteroid, passing a planetary defense test
- Laurel, Maryland — NASA successfully crashed a small spacecraft into an asteroid on Monday, a 14,000-mile-per-hour collision aimed to see if such technology might be used to safeguard Earth from a potentially catastrophic hit.
- It is in orbit around Didymos, a bigger asteroid.
- A second spacecraft would be required to investigate the effect.
- However, a moonlet, like as Dimorphos, orbits its larger sibling at a leisurely pace.
- Indeed, only the larger asteroid, not Dimorphos, could be seen in the spacecraft's camera's live feed 90 minutes before impact.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order
- Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Quick Glance: Poll: Election Interest Declines in Tight Biden-Trump Race
- The interest of voters in the election has reached the lowest point in two decades at this stage in a presidential race.
- The latest national NBC News poll reveals that the number of voters with high interest in the 2024 presidential election has nearly hit the lowest point in almost 20 years, with a majority holding negative views of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
- Inflation and immigration top the list of the country's most pressing issues, with only one-third of voters giving Biden credit for improving economic performance.
- The survey also highlights how the low voter interest and the independent candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could potentially disrupt what has been a stable presidential contest with over six months until Election Day.
