Revised the to include "snow" in "Ice/Hail/Snow" (TY @WahbAllat for your post). Spin the wheel and see where it lands! I'm planning on printing out a copy, then putting it on signboard (with a paper fastener in the center). I'm hoping to organize or participate in a event soon in . We needs to get out on the streets and demand !

Oooops!

A skyscraper-size asteroid flew closer to Earth than the moon — and scientists didn't notice until 2 days later

By Brandon Specktor, July 19, 2023

"A stealthy asteroid the size of a 20-story building hid in the sun's glare before zooming uncomfortably close to Earth on July 13. Scientists didn't notice until July 15.

"The sun remains a well-known blind spot in the search for near-Earth asteroids — and 2023 NT1 is hardly the first stealthy space rock to slip past our detection. In 2013, a roughly 59-foot-long (18 m) asteroid followed a similar path through the sun's glare and went undetected before exploding in the sky over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The explosion released a shock wave that damaged buildings and shattered glass for miles around, ultimately injuring nearly 1,500 people (but killing none).

"While scientists closely monitor more than 31,000 known near-Earth asteroids, they are well aware of the dangers posed by the solar blind spot. To address this threat, the European Space Agency is hard at work on the NEOMIR mission. The satellite, scheduled to launch around 2030, will orbit between Earth and the sun in an effort to detect large asteroids hidden in our star's shine."

'Swarm of boulders' in space shows the gory aftermath of 's -smashing mission

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has left a vast field of rubble strewn around asteroid Dimorphos, Hubble images show.

By Ben Turner, July 22, 2023

"The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted the gory aftermath of the first-ever intentional collision between a spacecraft and an asteroid, revealing a debris field of at least 37 'boulders"' flung thousands of miles into space.

"On Sept. 26, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft disintegrated as it smashed into the asteroid , which is 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth, successfully changing the asteroid's trajectory.

"Now, by using Hubble to study the impact, astronomers have found that DART's roughly 14,540 mph (23,400 km/h) impact on the asteroid produced a 'swarm of boulders.' The rocks, which range from 3 to 22 feet (0.9 to 6.7 meters) in diameter, were most likely shaken loose from the asteroid's surface during the impact. The researchers published their findings July 20 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters."

Das Kapitel "Death with dignity/Tod in Würde" (über humane Sterbehilfe angesichts unvorstellbarem Klima-Leid) in einem Buch über erwartbare dystopische Zukunftsaussichten, das ich kürzlich gelesen hab, offenbarte leider realistisch, was mich in dem Zusammenhang schon lang beunruhigt und was ja offensichtlich ist.
Für viele Menschen in vielen Weltregionen ist der Klimawandel schließlich schon längst tödlich und verursacht unfassbares Leid.
Doch erst jetzt, da offenbar wird, dass es uns im globalen Norden als Emissions-Hauptverursacher auch massiv erwischen wird, erscheinen diese News grade als Top-Thema bei sämtlichen Medien.
Ob das aber für ein Umdenken reicht, weil seitens Politik das ja schon lang bekannt ist und wirkliche, drastische Gegenmaßnahmen nicht in Sicht sind? (weil die Hauptleidtragenden ja wieder vor allem Alte, Vorerkrankte und sozial Benachteiligte sein werden, also, genau wie in der Pandemie, entbehrlich...🤮)

Je vous conseille vraiment
Mais apparemment pas tout le monde comprend que ça parle de suivre la science, regarder les peer reviewing, et ne pas croire les désinformateurs... enfin c'est surtout ceux-là qui ne comprennent pas.
