Astronomy: How to stargaze from your garden

A lone asteroid drifts past the Moon! The Moon’s gravity can slightly alter an asteroid’s path as it passes nearby. Thousands of small space rocks (called Near-Earth Objects) pass within the Moon’s orbit every year — most go completely unnoticed. The Moon has no atmosphere, so any impact leaves a scar forever visible from Earth. Scientists use lunar flybys like this to study how asteroids move and what they’re made of. #moon #cosmos #spacefacts | Astro Clips
