i did not know which forum to post this article in as it
covers so many areas, i think it is exciting that that
observations are finding more and more fuel for the
theorists.
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
I saw the same announcement (on a different website) and posted it to Relativity! Still in Astronomy&Cosmology though.

hi NEREID
i keep a watch for discoveries like the above ,or anything
that can give science a firm foundation, it seems to me that
this is the era for observation to confirm theory, who knowes
what new observational discoveries will reveal, dark matter
dark energy the granularity of spacetime, i just hope i am
around to witness them.
 
Me too

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
