Smacked Asteroid’s Debris Trail More Than 6,000 Miles Long
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—The asteroid that got smacked by a NASA spacecraft is now being trailed by thousands of miles of debris from the impact. Astronomers captured the scene millions of miles away with a telescope in Chile. Their remarkable observation two days after last month’s planetary defense test was recently released a National Science Foundation…

LIVE: The Plan to Block the Sun With Chemical Trails from Airplanes, Space Bubbles, and More
As a move to fight against alleged climate change, researchers are developing technologies to block sunlight from reaching the earth’s surface. This includes a program from Harvard, financed by Bill Gates, to spray chemicals into the earth’s stratosphere that would mimic the effects of ash clouds from a volcanic eruption. Other programs include the use…
