Did you know that space is full of humongous celestial objects, out of which only a few have been discovered so far? Asteroids are some of these objects. They are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago, according to NASA.
NASA has issued an alert about an asteroid named Asteroid 2022 UD28 which is headed straight for Earth today, November 16. According to the space agency, this 95 feet wide asteroid will make its closest approach to the planet today at a distance of 4.2 million kilometers.

First-Ever Asteroid Search Campaign Held in Pakistan
The campaign was affiliated with NASA and the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC), which is responsible for conducting such campaigns internationally to promote space education and exploration among young aspiring scientists.
These campaigns bestow the participants with an opportunity to learn what it is like to learn new skills, make actual discoveries, and the importance of collaboration in the scientific world. The students also get to name their discovered asteroids along with certificates stamped by NASA and IASC.

How NASA's Deep Space Network Supports the Agency's Missions
The DSN will prioritize communications during key mission events for Artemis I (pictured left), as it did for the approach and asteroid impact of the DART mission (illustrated right). Shown at center is one of the DSN's antennas that supports dozens of other deep space missions.
NASA Scientists Outline The "Most Unsettling Solution" To The Fermi Paradox | IFLScience
If Earth is so unremarkable in the grand scheme of things, where are all the aliens? A team of scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has tackled the question by looking at the Great Filter theory, humanity's place in it, and our future as a species.
The team is somewhat optimistic about nuclear threat, which they list as "perhaps the most obvious of Great Filters", pointing at longer trends of a tendency against war (though they say we are still trapped in a "vicious circle") and towards (albeit imperfect) democracy and peace.
