@orbitalradar.bsky.socialFUN FACT: The asteroid that ended the dinosaurs was just about 10 km wide—comparable to an airport runway system—against Earth’s 12,742 km bulk. At 20 km per second, speed, not size, made it catastrophic.
Prepare for 2026 TN4, approaching at ~8.2 lunar distances.
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialFUN FACT: In 1908, an object the size of a large office building exploded over Siberia, flattening 2,000 km² of forest without leaving a crater.
Today, 31,558 objects are tracked to prevent such surprises.

@tchapacan.bsky.socialA mountain-sized rock the length of five football fields is cruising through our neighborhood today. While it’s safely hanging out at 94 times the Moon's distance, it’s clocking in at a blistering 92,907 km/h. Space is truly wild ☄️
@tchapacan.bsky.socialAn asteroid the size of a skyscraper is cruising past us today at over 120 times the distance to the Moon. Meanwhile, a smaller rock is zipping by at a casual 75,000 km/h. Space is definitely having a busy Friday afternoon ☄️
@stellarvisions.bsky.socialUn voyage à travers notre système solaire ! 🌌✨ Admirez les planètes et leurs mystères.
@tchapacan.bsky.socialA space rock the size of two football fields is cruising by today. While the giant 2007 DM41 is keeping a safe distance of 65 times the distance to the Moon, it’s officially on the books as our one hazardous visitor for the day. Space is certainly busy! ☄️
@secondlookspace.hughesnode.comAn asteroid slips inside the Moon's distance about every other day 🌙
@tchapacan.bsky.socialAn asteroid the size of a skyscraper is hurtling through the void at 80,000 km/h today. While it’s safely hanging out at 155 times the distance to the Moon, the sheer speed of this space traveler is enough to make your head spin. ☄️

@dreamwavelabs.bsky.socialHave you ever wondered what Asteroids would be like if it were made in 2026?
Perihelion is a space combat roguelite where gravity matters. If you were a fan of how Asteroids felt controlling your ship, check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/4326220?...
