Two weeks ago a small space rock called 2008 TC3 made astronomical history as the first asteroid that both impacted the Earth and was also observed telescopically while still out in space and on its collision path with our planet. Since then, three more small near-Earth objects making very close approaches have been picked up by the Mount Lemmon Survey in Arizona, the third just a day ago. ...

On August 27, 2003, at 9:51 Universal (Greenwich) Time, Mars will be making its closest approach to Earth for quite some time. ... A lot of astronomers and news media are saying about how close it will be and how big it will look, but they are leaving out two crucial facts: Mars will be nearly 56 million kilometers away, and it's only fractionally closer than the last favorable pass. ...

... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...

... For us to see them from such great distances, quasars must be producing enormous energy -- they are about 1000 times brighter than an average galaxy! ... One of their choices for the energy source of quasars was a black hole. ... On the one hand, it may seem difficult to think that mere friction between bits of matter could account for the energy of a quasar, but, on the other hand, gravity is unimaginably strong near a black hole. ... How does matter actually rush towards the black hole? ...
