Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA # 139: Clearing the Neighborhood
The 365 Days of Astronomy
Saving the world on a tight budget. Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Can we clear all the PHOs from around Earth? A key feature of Cheap Astronomy’s CSOTM (Crash Shirt On The Moon) proposal is that the most readily available source of shirt to crash are near Earth asteroids and a small number of comets. This has the double benefit of putting all the raw materials in one place, plus you are clearing out potentially hazardous objects that could collide with Earth at some time in the future. Dear Cheap Astronomy – Can we really deflect asteroids with rocket engines?...

Guide To Space - Universe Today News: 7 Stage Journey Reveals How Falling Space Rocks Survive Air
The 365 Days of Astronomy
By - August 31, 2026. Recorded by our Editor, Richard Drumm. At least once in our lives, we’ve all seen a bright streak of light briefly blaze across the sky and have quickly referred to it as an asteroid, meteor, shooting star, comet, or some other whimsical name we’ve heard others use to describe it. For those calling it a meteor, you would be correct, but we’ll touch upon this later. The time it takes for a space rock, bolide being its scientific name, to travel through Earth's atmosphere and crash into the ground literally takes only a few seconds. But what happens to a space rock...
