A space rock with a peculiar orbit may be a floating piece of the moon. Scientists had thought moon rocks weren't able to stay in orbit after a meteorite blast. AdvertisementAdvertisementA chunk of the moon that may have broken away from the lunar surface millions of years ago appears to be orbiting our planet. NASAThe finding could change where we think potentially dangerous space rocks come fromScientists are constantly monitoring the skies for potentially dangerous space rocks — but they are very aware of their limitations. Space rocks like these also provide rare snapshots into the past of our solar system.

☆ Newly discovered Comet Nishimura will soon swing by Earth

CNN —A newly discovered comet will be visible at times as it flies by Earth next week. Japanese space photographer Hideo Nishimura first observed Comet Nishimura in early August as he was taking images of the night sky, according to EarthSky. Comet Nishimura can bee seen as a faint green dot in the sky over L'Aquila, Italy, on September 7. “Unless it becomes quite a bit brighter than expected, it will likely not be visible.”What’s next for Comet NishimuraGiven how closely Comet Nishimura will pass by the sun, it’s possible the intense heat might destroy it. If you miss the chance to see Comet Nishimura, there are several comets expected to appear in the night sky in the next 16 months, Hale said.

☆ Across the Northern Hemisphere, Now's the Time to Catch a New Comet Before It Vanishes for 400 Years

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A newly discovered comet is swinging through our cosmic neighborhood for the first time in more than 400 years. Stargazers across the Northern Hemisphere should catch a glimpse as soon as possible — either this week or early next — because it will be another 400 years before the wandering ice ball returns. The comet, which is kilometer-sized (1/2-mile), will sweep safely past Earth on Sept. 12, passing within 78 million miles (125 million kilometers). The comet will come closest to the sun — closer than Mercury is — on about Sept. 17 before departing the solar system. “The comet looks amazing right now, with a long, highly structured tail, a joy to image with a telescope,” he said.
