Tomorrow, an incredibly rare, once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is happening! Jupiter will be its closest to Earth since 1963! Along with opposition, it’ll be SO bright, you’ll be able to see its bands and some moons just with binoculars!.This won’t happen again until 2129!

the last time that every human was on earth was october 31, 2000. ever since then, we’ve always had at least one person in space. so if you were born after that date, you’ve never been on earth with everyone at once.

Tomorrow, NASA is making history by intentionally crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid to deflect it, testing a method of planetary defense (should an asteroid pose a major threat to Earth). DART will crash into Dimorphos, (moonlet of Didymos), which poses no harm to us.
