I'm flying through the Martian atmosphere at thousands of miles per hour. It's really heating up outside (like 2,700 degrees F/1,500 C)! 🔥 Thankfully my heat shield is designed to keep me cool and comfortable. Watch LIVE: https://t.co/oig27aMjZd #MarsLanding
KBO history moment #DidYouKnow The first Kuiper Belt Object was 1992QB1 informal name was ‘Smiley’ now known as Albion
The Space gossip went wild because the informal name 😊 was already designated when asteroid 1950SD was found by American Charles Hugh Smiley 😃

"Phasing our 2001 data to 6.25 hours gives an implausible lightcurve. O. Hainaut kindly provided us with the photometric measurements for the 1997 and 1998 observations. We do not find strong evidence for the 6.25 hour period in the Hainaut et al. data from 1998."
