space rocks

I feel like it's 2020 again, either that or 2020 has bled through into in 2021. It figures that one of the largest asteroids known to man would want to do a fly-by in the middle of a freaking pandemic. This asteroid, named 2001 FO32, is estimated to be about 3,000 feet diameter...

It's unclear if anyone here in Maine got a solid look at this flaming space-rock the other day, but if you did, chances are you could tell that it was moving pretty darn fast.

For crying out loud, is there really a headline anymore that surprises anyone? We've got protests, coronavirus, ebola, murder hornets, Hurricanes and now skyscraper-sized space projectiles hurdling towards earth. I suppose, at the very least, it would be good of me to start by letting you know that this behemoth will pass by our planet at a "safe distance"...
