On April 8th, millions across North America beheld the extraordinary spectacle of a rare total solar eclipse.
The transformation of a vibrant sunny day into a grayscale panorama reminiscent of scenes from a dystopian narrative captivated observers, etching a mesmerising memory that will endure for years.
Meanwhile, NASA treated the world to captivating images offering a celestial perspective of the solar eclipse from outer space.
On Monday, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) generously shared footage and images capturing the breathtaking total solar eclipse.
The mesmerising video showcases the eclipse unfolding over the Earth's horizon, revealing a striking transformation where a portion of our planet appears engulfed in darkness during this celestial phenomenon.
Two astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) for over a month are talking to reporters for the first time on Wednesday afternoon. Sky News
Recently Spotted Asteroid, Set for Near Miss With Earth.
ABC reports that an asteroid
is set to make a close pass
by Earth this weekend.
Asteroid 2024 MK should
be visible with the proper
equipment and timing. .
Asteroid 2024 MK should
be visible with the proper
equipment and timing. .
The space rock will make its closest approach past
Earth early on June 29, passing at just three-quarters
of the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
The asteroid, which was first spotted two
weeks ago by an observatory in South Africa,
is estimated to be about 393 feet to 853 feet wide.
According to asteroid expert Davide Farnocchia,
who works for NASA's Center for Near-Earth
Object Studies, asteroids the size of 2024 MK
only pass by about every 25 years.
Weβre going to see a few
of those during our lifetimes,
but itβs not something that
happens every other day, Davide Farnocchia, NASA Center for
Near-Earth Object Studies, via ABC.
On June 27, a 7,579-foot asteroid just passed
the Earth at a slightly greater distance and
was only visible with professional telescopes.
The upcoming 2024 MK will be visible
with a small telescope but will not
be visible to the naked eye. .
ABC reports that skywatchers in
the Southern Hemisphere will have
the best odds of spotting the asteroid.
The next major asteroid is set for April 13, 2029,
when Apophis will pass Earth and be visible with
the naked eye to viewers in Europe, Africa and Asia.

ISS Crew Forced to , Take Shelter , After Russian Satellite Breaks Apart.
'The Independent' reports that astronauts aboard the
International Space Station (ISS) took shelter due to
the danger of debris from a broken up Russian satellite.
Crews aboard the ISS were ordered to board
their respective spacecraft in case debris
struck and damaged the orbital laboratory.
According to experts, the ever-increasing number of
satellites in orbit around Earth has magnified the risk of
collision and other potential problems for space crews.
It remains unclear what caused
the RESURS-P1 Russian Earth
Observation satellite to break apart. .
According to NASA's Space Station office, the event
occurred near the space station, prompting astronauts
to take shelter in their spacecraft for about an hour. .
Mission Control continued to monitor the path of the debris, and after about an hour, the crew was cleared to exit their spacecraft and the station resumed normal operations, NASA statement, via X.
Space-tracking firm LeoLabs said that U.S. radar
detected the decommissioned satellite releasing a
cloud of debris in low-Earth orbit late on June 26. .
Shortly after 9 p.m. EDT, NASA
instructed crews aboard the space
station to shelter in their respective
spacecraft as a standard precautionary
measure after it was informed
of a satellite break-up at an
altitude near the station, NASA statement, via X.
According to U.S. Space Command, the Russian satellite created , "over 100 pieces of trackable debris.".
USSPACECOM has observed no
immediate threats and is continuing
to conduct routine conjunction
assessments to support the safety
and sustainability of the space domain, U.S. Space Command statement, via 'The Independent'
