The rapid approach of three rogue asteroids has prompted NASA to issue a warning about 'near-Earth objects'.
The first asteroid, some 17m in length, has just made its way past us at about 4:20pm NZDT, barrelling through the cosmos at a speed of 7380km/h. Labelled 2019 AT6, it came within 3.2 million km of our planet, which might not sound particularly close but was enough for NASA to list it as a 'near-Earth object'.

The second asteroid, 2019 AM8, is far larger, calculated to be about the size of a blue whale. It's going double the speed of the first object, about 40,555km/h, and is expected to pass Earth at 5:03am on Wednesday morning NZDT. It will come about as close as the first one, which is roughly eight and a half times the distance between Earth and the moon.
Asteroid number three, called 2019 AG7, is the biggest of the trio with a diameter of 51m - the height of the leaning tower of Pisa. Travelling at 24,333km/h, it will get much closer than the previous two, scraping past within 1.53 million km of Earth, at 11:43am on Wednesday NZDT.
Even relatively small asteroids can cause large amounts of damage should they crash into Earth. In February 2013, a meteor measuring 20m wreaked havoc in the Russian city of Chelyabinski, injuring more than 1500 people.
January is shaping up to be an asteroid-heavy month, with as many as 12 expected to fly past Earth by the end of the month.

George Papadopoulos told Congress that the FBI offered to pay him to travel to London to conduct surveillance on Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese professor who allegedly claimed that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The former Trump aide said that he rejected the offer, which was made during a Jan. 31, 2017 meeting with an FBI agent in Chicago.
Papadopoulos has served a 14 day prison sentence for lying to the FBI about the extent of his contacts with Mifsud.

£21bn ‘holy grail’ particle collider splits the scientific community

Scientists have announced plans for the largest experiment ever conducted — a £21 billion plan to find a “theory of everything”.
A 100km-long circular tunnel, a successor to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), would be built under the Swiss-French border to smash sub-atomic particles together. The Future Circular Collider would be nearly four times larger than the LHC and aim to fill gaps in our knowledge of the universe.

Ian Fleming, the creator one of the most impactful and iconic figures of 20th-century popular culture in James Bond, was born on May 28, 1908 in London. Let’s take a look at some interesting facts about Fleming and his work:
-
During World War II, Fleming worked as an assistant to the Royal Navy’s Director of Naval Intelligence, and he eventually rose to the rank of Commander.

While working for Britain's Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War, Fleming was involved in planning Operation Goldeneye and in the planning and oversight of two intelligence units, 30 Assault Unit and T-Force. His wartime service and his career as a journalist provided much of the background, detail and depth of the James Bond novels.
Ian Fleming was the friend of presidents, prime ministers, and the celebrity literary set. In 1961, he met with President John F. Kennedy at the White House. JFK was a big Bond fan, naming From Russia With Love as one of his favorite books. Fleming and the president had a long and interesting chat, during which the president unobtrusively picked Fleming’s brain for ways to assassinate a foreign leader (the CIA was secretly planning the assassination of Cuba’s Fidel Castro).
