A new study shows house-sized NEOs - Near-Earth Objects - to be 10 times fewer than studies had indicated. That leaves some 3.5 million NEOs larger than 10 meters across. Harvey churned up, cooled down Gulf water These maps show how the deluge of fresh rainwater and ocean mixing from hurricane Harvey combined to dramatically alter the surface waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Watch for zodiacal light or false dawn The zodiacal light is an eerie light extending up from the horizon. No matter where you are on Earth, springtime or autumn is the best time to see it.
