NASA’s fancy-pants asteroid missions can save Earth AND reveal its history Let’s go Armageddon on these asteroids Asteroid strikes Not all asteroids are confined to a belt. Some wander throughout the Solar System on orbits which can bring them into close proximity with planets like Earth. The impact hazard of asteroids is relatively well-publicized, particularly after theChelyabinsk meteorwhich exploded over a Russian town in 2013, injuring over 1,000 people and causing extensive damage....

NASA’s Juno mission reveals the depth and structure of Jupiter’s colorful bands and shrinking red spot The Great Red Spot Jupiter’sGreat Red Spothas had a hard time in recent years. It has been steadily shrinking in the east-west direction for decades, and recent encounters with smaller vortices has led to enormous flakes of reddish material being drawn out of the spot itself. These flaking events, though troublesome for fans of the best-known storm in the solar system, do appear to be superficial, only affecting the reddish hazes that sit atop the vortex....
