And the next portion here, asteroids, these are near Earth objects and they just come within a certain distance of our planet and the ones here I missed each week, they're not potentially hazardous objects, they're just objects that are within a certain distance from us and scientists like to keep an eye on them just for cataloging purposes. Today we had 2025 U07, 8 lunar distances away, lunar distance 8, that's the distance the moon is away from us, so 8 times that, 7.6 km a second it was travelling at, 17 metres in diameter. Another one today too is 2025 UU9, 14.9 lunar distances away and 4.4 km a second and 14 metres in diameter, neither one of those are a hazard to us, they're not going to hit us, even if they did they're both rather small and chances are they wouldn't make it to the ground, just dropping.
