☆ The asteroid NASA crashed into looks like a comet now, with a forked tail, Hubble image reveals

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a comet-like forked tail streaming from the asteroid Dimorphos. NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid in September, as practice for saving Earth. In fact, it kind of looks like a comet now, NASA discovered when the Hubble Space Telescope snapped a new image of the distant space rock. So on September 26, the DART spacecraft slammed into Dimorphos, pushing it slightly closer to the larger asteroid it's orbiting, called Didymos. Telescopes across the planet and throughout Earth's orbit, including the new James Webb Space Telescope, are watching the asteroid closely.

The Orionids meteor shower peaks late Thursday night and into early Friday morning. Colorful streaks and bursting fireballs make this one of the year's most beautiful meteor showers, according to NASA. A meteor streaks past the Canis Minor constellation in the night sky during the annual Orionid meteor shower in Ronda, near Malaga, Spain, on October 22, 2017. NASA recommends against using telescopes or binoculars to view a meteor shower, since those instruments show only a limited portion of the sky at a time. A stargazer waits for light clouds to clear to watch the Perseid meteor shower to begin near Bobcaygeon, Ontario, on August 12, 2015.
