Bus-sized asteroid will fly past Earth tonight mere days after being discovered. Here's what to expect Asteroid 2026 EG1 was discovered on March 8, less than one week ago.

I don’t quite see what business it is of the dassies. When the world ends they’ll still have their holiday house in storms river.

You’ll have to pay customs duty but DHL makes it easy, and it’ll arrive in less than a week.

What do you mean "were"?

j/k - iirc I did watch for a while until it became clear that, despite the name, no actual holograms were ever going to be making an appearance.
