It passed through the BeeHive Cluster about midnight last night. Would have liked to observe it but, clouds.

We are being entirely too earth centric. There are trillions of trillions of such space objects and we care only about our home team. That's not cosmically correct.

But a scientist quoted in Bill Bright's book, A Short History of Everything, observed that the special design of everything that allows life on this earth suggests the Universe at least knew we were coming.

The grainy, black and white photos show the asteroid, about a third of a mile in size, spinning through space, with its 230-foot-wide moon trailing behind.

Surprised an object that size would have enough mass/gravity to hold a moon.

Is it super-dense?

I'll orbit Kate Upton if they'll let me. More than gravity attracts.

I agree with Gahrie. I wonder if the shirt offends Mrs. Althouse.

Such being the case. Shouldn't something be orbiting Michael Moore?

I looked at and around the Beehive Cluster for a time last night. It was very pretty. Which one of those dots was the asteroid, I couldn't say.
