What are these two bands in the sky?

The more commonly seen band is on the left and is the central band of our Milky Way galaxy. Our Sun orbits in the disk of this spiral galaxy so that from inside, it appears as a band of comparable brightness all the way around the sky. The less commonly seen band, on the right, is zodiacal light -- sunlight reflected from dust orbiting the Sun in our Solar System. Zodiacal light is brightest near the Sun and so is best seen just before sunrise or just after sunset. On some evenings, this ribbon of zodiacal light can appear quite prominent. It was discovered only in this century that zodiacal dust was mostly expelled by comets that have passed near Jupiter. The featured image was captured about a year ago from the Atacama Desert in Chile.

Why is #AsteroidDay observed today?

On June 30, 1908, a jaw-dropping explosion flattened millions of trees in a remote part of Siberia. The cause: a meteor air burst by an asteroid about 180 ft (55 m) wide.

9/11: an absolutely hectic day at the Forum in Vladivostok, Asian Russia, deep in Asia-Pacific. Pic taken on a short break, when I was led to the coolest bar in the business operated by my fav vodka brand. First-class Valdai session on Russia in Asia, great to meet Wang Wen, several itvws and the panel I was part of, on Greater Eurasia and de-dollarization, a killer, arguably the most crucial at the Forum. Putin landed in town on the night of 9/11, speaks this Tuesday, and Comrade Kim's train may come rollin' as well. We are only 140 km or so away from the DPRK's border. I'll be live on RT immediately after Putin. Siberian Express or bust.

Researchers have found evidence that wild savannah elephants in Kenya label each other with specific vocal sounds which they then use to communicate. The new discovery claims that elephants have specific names for each other.

Saturn’s rings are shiny and barely dusty, which means they’re pretty young.
