The Space Stuff thread

In December 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/71/90, declaring 30 June International Asteroid Day in order to "observe each year at the international level the anniversary of the Tunguska impact over Siberia, Russian Federation, on 30 June 1908, and to raise public awareness about the asteroid impact hazard."

International Asteroid Day aims to raise public awareness about the asteroid impact hazard and to inform the public about the crisis communication actions to be taken at the global level in case of a credible near-Earth object threat.

The General Assembly’s decision was made based on a proposal by the Association of Space Explorers, which was endorsed by Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS).

Just a quick suggestion of a Youtube channel I have found informative and quite entertaining, given that the content is provided by a real astrophysicist, who is currently working in the field of supermassive Black holes

The videos are split into two sections, what's happening in the current night sky, and also what is currently happening in the field of Astronomy/ space exploration

The basics are fine for most people including me, but She also provides links to any scientific papers that she mentions . Also links to world wide night sky calendars are included ...

A channel by a futurist and science fiction author, some speculative posts, is John Michael Godier. He does work with an astrophysicist.
