Quote from your friendly neighborhood asteroid scientist.
Some asteroids spin smoothly. Others tumble chaotically. Understanding their differences could help us learn more about asteroid history and improve planetary defense measures.
What Tumbling Asteroids Tell Us About Their Innards - Eos
Data from the Gaia space observatory reveal that many slowly spinning asteroids rotate chaotically. A new theory links that chaos to their inner structure and history.

Science Teachers! If you’re interested in using ”non-fiction November“ to get your students reading a bit more, “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?” is one of the few non-fiction titles on this “Year 10 recommended reading list”. It‘s a book that brings school science together into a coherent story
Year 10 recommended reading list for teens aged 14-15

Most science degrees never require students to learn how to communicate their work to the public. That gap fuels confusion, mistrust, and missed opportunities to protect lives. Let's change it. Sign the petition to make communication + public engagement training a degree requirement. bit.ly/3LbnfHB
