Eros is Coming!
Eros is a near earth asteroid. And it’s going to pass relatively close to us on January 31. So everyone get out your tin foil hats; prepare the secret spaceship! Ok, not really. This big hunk of rock 34 km long will be 16,000,000 miles from us – not exactly close, but not too far.
What is also interesting is that the study of near earth natural satellites seems to be a hot topic in astronomy. And it provides an interesting area for study when such rocks come near. We’re actually starting to place equipment on and near these things.
So don’t think that Space travel isn’t cool. Because it is. And we should do more of it.
