NASA astronomers have issued a warning about a large asteroid, roughly the size of two football fields, that will pass near Earth on September 15. In astronomical terms, this asteroid will come relatively close to our planet. Designated as Asteroid 2024 ON, this object was discovered earlier this year and is now on a path toward Earth. NASA estimates the asteroid’s size to be about 220 meters, or twice the length of a football field. Despite its proximity, Asteroid 2024 ON poses no threat to Earth. It will pass by at a distance of over 990,000 kilometers—2.6 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. Scientists note that asteroids of this size typically come this close to Earth approximately once every decade. The asteroid’s close approach on September 15 presents a unique opportunity for astronomers to collect crucial data on its composition, speed, rotation period, and orbital trajectory. This information is essential for improving models of near-Earth asteroid behavior and enhancing our understanding of solar system dynamics. Asteroids are remnants from the formation of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago. They vary greatly in size and shape due to their formation in different regions and distances from the sun. While most are composed of various types of rock, some contain clay or metals like nickel and iron. NASA continuously monitors near-Earth asteroids, as some of them could pose a genuine threat to our planet. Objects with a diameter exceeding 150 meters that come within 7.4 million kilometers of Earth are classified as potentially hazardous.

NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore has reported hearing unusual noises coming from Boeing’s troubled Starliner spacecraft, which has left him and his colleague Sunita Williams stranded in space for eight months instead of returning home after their planned week-long mission in June. Wilmore contacted NASA’s mission control to report a strange pulsating sound originating from the Starliner spacecraft, currently docked to the International Space Station (ISS). He mentioned that the source of the noise, heard over the station’s loudspeaker, was unclear and requested assistance in identifying it. Mission controllers asked Wilmore to hold the microphone up to the speaker so they could analyze the sound. After listening, they noted that the pulsating noise resembled a sonar signal. The investigation into the source of the sound is ongoing, but initial theories suggest that it could be caused by a feedback loop between the ISS and the Starliner spacecraft. Strange noises in space are not unheard of, with astronauts having reported similar experiences on several occasions in the past. The Starliner has faced persistent issues with its propulsion system since its arrival at the ISS on June 6. Due to these problems, NASA made the critical decision in late August to send the spacecraft back to Earth without Wilmore and Williams on September 6. The two NASA astronauts are now expected to remain on the ISS until around February next year, when they will return home aboard a SpaceX spacecraft.

The iPhone 16 is coming out next week, and I'll order one of the four models as soon as preorders go live. I've been looking forward to the iPhone 16 series, mainly for Apple Intelligence features. But plenty of exciting upgrades are coming my way, including the Capture button, which I'll surely put to good use once it comes out. However, I also realize there's a case for keeping my iPhone 14 Pro for another year. The handset is almost two years old, which means it's still a great phone that can rock a couple of years of updates. It's the equivalent of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, models that will surely stay in Apple's lineup for another year. Continue reading...
