    Erinnern Sie sich an diesen Asteroiden, dass sich alle vor 2 Monaten Sorgen gemacht haben? Der JWST hat gerade eine klare Sicht darauf bekommen

      This is my retirement plan, am I on track still? Or is the asteroid on track I meant.

      #“CLEAR VIEW!“

      Geez… Come on space.com!

      I don’t know what definition of a „clear view“ your „journalistic“ staff is working with, but that’s NOT a clear view! I’m sorry! It’s still just a fuzzy white dot!

      There is no way in heck if I was a space journalist, would I ever describe this latest image as a „clear view“.

      ——————————–

      But sure, fair enough:

      It’s a bigger fuzzy white dot…

      And it’s certainly a new, and VERY interesting view of the object. It’s also an enhanced view. And I guess it’s the best view we’ve gotten thus far, I suspect.

      ——————————–

      But still I just don’t get it space.com?

      Why do you feel the need to use the title phrase „clear view“ in exaggeration when it’s totally NOT a clear view, by any stretch of the imagination?

      I guess space.com feels the need to do BS title click bait stuff still?!

      🙁

      I wasn’t worried at all. Just a bunch of click bait articles filled with comments of self loathing people as if we didn’t have a plague for them to complete their self loathing wishes.

      Here is a link to the source image.

      >NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope recently captured these images of the asteroid 2024 YR4 using both its NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Data from NIRCam shows reflected light, while the MIRI observations show thermal light. Using the NIRCam data, along with the MIRI data can help researchers understand both the size of the asteroid and how reflective its surface is, which is related to the asteroid’s composition.

      >The Webb observations better constrain the size of asteroid 2024 YR4 to about 60 meters, or the size of a 15 story building. Researchers also say the asteroid’s surface may be dominated by rocks that are maybe fist-sized or larger.

      >Asteroid 2024 YR4 is smallest object targeted by Webb to date, and these observations have provided valuable insight into how Webb can be used to study other objects the size of 2024 YR4, including the next one that might be heading our way.

      „Sure enough, by late February, the probability of the asteroid hitting Earth fell to near zero.“

      „clear view“ 🤔

      I don’t think that’s a fair way to word this
