Hey guys (and gals). By the way this information is based on August 2016 in New York
I'm going to tell you all something that I learned about NASA/space.
Apparently this august was the hottest august since 136 years of modern record-keeping. Usually throughout the year, the peak month is July. Last month also was 0.98 degrees Celsius warmer than the mean August temperature.
Also, a small asteroid safely flew past Earth today at 10:20 a.m. PDT at a distance of about 25,000 miles (40,000 kilometers). The asteroid is estimated to be between 25 to 50 feet (7 and 16 meters) in diameter. Apparently it is the closest the space rock will come to Earth for at least the next half century. The asteroid was discovered on the 5th of September by a group of astronomers. The astronomers used the 60-inch Cassegrain reflector telescope which was located at the summit of Mount Lemmon in the Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, Arizona. We're definitely lucky that it didn't hit us or else there would have been severe damage, especially if it hit a country.
Anyway that's all for this week
Peace
