@ericallen2020 @forallcurious HiRise is in a 200 mile orbit around Mars and built to take images of Mars' surface. Considering it's orbiting at 7600mph, the image of the nucleus is very impressive considering HiRISE's intended purpose. Ignoring all of that, the image itself is not impressive imo
In the last 6 days, 9 asteroids passed inside the Moon’s orbit. Estimated sizes: ~1–38 m. All were discovered this month, a reminder that countless small, faint NEOs slip by unnoticed until they make a close pass.
New from orbit!
We captured this image of the Chinese Space Station using a @BlackSky_Inc satellite. This NEI mission was captured from a distance of 83 km, with a resolution of 0.17 m/px.
Can you identify the various modules of the space station?

The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%.
Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’
If this trend continues, the risk may soon reach 0%.
A biggish asteroid may hit Earth just before Christmas in 7 years. We'll know soon, when @NASAWebb tracks it next month. Then we'd need to decide how best to deflect it.
