Asteroid science gets sweeter! Scientists found ribose & glucose in a sample of asteroid Bennu. With earlier detections of amino acids (make up proteins) & nucleobases (components of DNA & RNA), this shows the building blocks of life were widespread in the early solar system.

Good for 100 years - maybe! This is why we fund science....we have not found them all.
Before we can defend our planet from a potential asteroid impact, we need to find the potential impactors! Our planetary defense network has now found more than 40,000 near-Earth objects and ruled out any known impact within the next hundred years. https://t.co/RsuDd5uKcH

Here's Hubble's latest view of Comet 3/I ATLAS! Taken on Nov. 30, this image shows the comet when it was ~178 million miles (286 million km) from Earth. Hubble tracked the comet as it moved across the sky, so background stars appear as streaks of light: https://t.co/3kCIAYjrD6
