In case you missed it, Happy 30th to the Z boson.
"On 1 June 1983 physicists at CERN announced that they had directly observed the Z boson. This discovery was greeted with jubilation as it confirmed the electroweak theory, a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics developed during the 1970s."

In case you missed it last week.
"A Soyuz rocket with Expedition 36/37 Soyuz Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Flight Engineers Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and Karen Nyberg of NASA, onboard, launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station"

A whole new way to track asteroids? It's called KaBOOM.
NASA unveiled a whole new radar test facility that could help better spot and track asteroids, including ones that pose an impact risk such as the Chelyabinsk meteor that surprised Russia earlier this year.
The KaBoom (Ka-Band Objects Observation and Monitoring) system is comprised of 3 radio antennas at Kennedy Space Center, and it'll help researchers pick an asteroid for the capture-and-carry mission announced earlier this year.

Asteroid fragments on the moon, and what they mean for moon research -
Researchers believe as many as 1 in 4 of the impact craters on the moon may house remnants of the asteroids that created them, a finding that may make it harder to determine what the moon itself is made of.

Do you know the difference between a meteor and an asteroid?
It never hurts to brush up on your space vocabulary! Check out this awesome visual chart of the meteor terms from the American Meteor Society.
