The jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is already on its second day of deliberations

  The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations. The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations On Wednesday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, jurors began their second day of deliberations in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The jury deliberated all day Tuesday without reaching a decision, and they notified the court that they would return in the morning to complete their investigation. In the August 2020 shootings in Kenosha that killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreutz after a tumultuous night of protests following the police death of Jacob Blake, Rittenhouse faces five felony counts. Rittenhouse, then 17 years old, maintains he was acting in self-defense. He stated that he traveled to Kenosha equipped with an AR-15 like weapon to assist with the protection of local businesses and to offer first aid. Last week, he testified in his own defense, breaking down in tears when...

NASA is trying to prevent an asteroid from colliding with Earth

 

NASA


NASA is preparing to keep an asteroid it described as "dangerous" from colliding with Earth.

NASA indicated that it will launch a mission in November, to protect the planet, and push a dangerous asteroid with a spacecraft.

NASA's mission is to deflect the asteroid into deep space, known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission.
The mission is heading to the asteroid at 1:20 a.m. EDT on November 24 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from a base in California.
According to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, DART will smash into an asteroid known as “Didymoon”, at a speed of approximately 13,500 mph on October 2, 2022.
Also, in doing so the Didymoon's velocity would change by a fraction of a percentage, but it would be enough for NASA to be able to measure its changing orbit, and this would provide valuable input into future asteroid-disbursing missions.
The asteroid is approximately 160 meters (524 ft) wide and orbits a much larger space rock known as Didymus that is about 780 meters (2,559 ft) wide.
It is worth noting that "Didymoon" came relatively close to Earth in 2003, with a distance of 3.7 million miles, and it is also likely to hit Earth due to the presence of more space rocks that have not been detected by NASA and the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) so far.
NASA said in a statement that DART will be the first demonstration of kinetic impact technology, which involves sending one or more large spacecraft into the path of an asteroid in space to alter its motion.

NASA launches Lucy to space

  A NASA spacecraft loaded with diamonds blasted into space on Saturday, on a 12-year mission to explore eight asteroids. Seven mysterious space objects are among swarms of asteroids orbiting Jupiter, which are believed to be original remnants of the planet's formation. The Atlas V rocket blasted off before dawn, carrying the Lucy spacecraft on a twisting orbital flight of nearly 6.3 billion kilometres. The craft is named after the 3.2 million-year-old skeletal remains of a human ancestor found in Ethiopia nearly half a century ago. The discovery got its name from the 1967 Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," which prompted NASA to send the spacecraft to fly along with the band members' song. The spacecraft also carried a lab-produced diamond disk for one of its science instruments. The paleoanthropologist behind the discovery of the "Lucy" fossil, Donald Johansson, said he was astonished by this intersection between our past, present and future. ...

Trump Israel lost control of Congress

"Trump" Israel lost control of Congress   Former US President Donald Trump considered the biggest change he saw in Congress was the transfer of power from Israeli-influenced lawmakers to anti-Israel politicians In statements to the "570 KVI" ​​radio program, Trump said, "Israel took control of the Congress in the country 10 or 15 years ago, and its influence was very strong, but today it is almost the opposite. Trump has criticized Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other members of the so-called "squad" of progressive Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress who have firm positions against pro-Israel policy. Trump added, "Well, you know the biggest change I've seen in Congress is that Israel literally owned Congress, you understand that 10-15 years ago, and [their influence] was very strong and today it's the opposite." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and those people who hate Israel, they hate it passionately....

The US authorities confirmed the registration of the new AY.4.2 strain of Corona virus in the United States

The American authorities confirmed the registration of the new AY.4.2 strain of the Corona virus in the United States, adding that they had no information about the emergence of foci or the increase in the number of infected people. In a press briefing Wednesday, Rochelle Valinsky, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the center records "from time to time" the spread of this new strain, which was recently discovered in Britain, but she indicated that there is no data to indicate that this strain undermines the effectiveness of the vaccine or drugs used. And she confirmed that the main mutator circulating in the United States of the emerging Corona virus is the “delta” mutant, explaining that 99.7 percent of “Covid-19” patients are infected with it. Earlier, British scientists announced the spread of a new, more lethal version of the "Delta" mutant in the country, noting that AY.4.2 may become 10-15% more dangerous than the "Delta...
