@stellarvisions.bsky.socialUn monde extraterrestre mystérieux entouré d'astéroïdes. 🌌🌠
@tchapacan.bsky.socialAn absolute giant is cruising past today! 2017 XD, a rock potentially twice the height of the Burj Khalifa, is hurtling through space at a staggering 133,396 km/h. It’s safely out at 125 times the Moon’s distance, but that is one serious cosmic speed demon. ☄️

@tchapacan.bsky.socialAsteroid 2019 GM1 is buzzing by today at 33 times the Moon's distance. At about the size of a school bus, it's just a pebble in the cosmic ocean compared to 2006 SB142, a space rock the height of a skyscraper cruising much further out in the dark. ☄️
