And asteroids, I always try to get a few of these in each week here as near-Earth objects. If any of them are potentially hazard objects, I list those as well, but these ones here are just near-Earth objects. These are the ones that are just within a certain range from our planet that they just keep an eye on. Actually keeping an eye on these helps them establish a catalogue of all these large asteroids. And on the 16th of today we had asteroid 2025 CO3, 19.8 lunar distance in the way. That's the lunar distance, that's the distance that's needed away from us. So 19.8 times that, 8.4 km a second and 90 meters in diameter. And so that was the one for today. Now we've got another one coming up in September, a much bigger one. So I'll have to work out, maybe I can do this for the next over, if I'm willing to, some of the topics. We'll see if I can do it. But this one's September 29th and it's asteroid 152664, 10.1 lunar distance in the way. So that's still a fair clip away from us, 18.6 km a second. So that's where we travel along and 412 meters in diameter. And I can use that one basically. I can use that one. I'll just give a theoretical idea of what would happen if that actually slammed into us. So I'll see if I can do that before the next over. Give you an idea, impact crater size and what that would be. I'm certain that's going to be megatons, probably gigatons, when it explodes.
