HONG KONG — As he left a state reception at the Kremlin on Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping turned to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin , and said the world was undergoing changes “the likes of which we haven’t seen for 100 years.” “And we are the ones driving these changes together,” he said. “I agree,” Putin replied, shaking hands with the Chinese leader in an exchange that was captured on camera. Xi’s three-day visit , his first since Putin invaded Ukraine last year, was the latest step in Beijing’s bid to promote an alternative international order that is less dominated by the United States. But, experts told NBC News, it highlighted the extent to which Moscow — weakened by a war now grinding into its second year — may have to settle for playing second fiddle.

A newly discovered, 200-foot asteroid will come super close to our planet on Saturday. Dubbed 2023 DZ2, the space rock is expected to safely pass by Earth at less than half the distance of the moon, according to Earth Sky. Its closest approach is set to occur at around 2:51 p.m. CT. First detected by astronomers at the observatory of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain in late February and first announced on March 16 , 2023, DZ2 is currently estimated to be 210 feet in diameter, per Earth Sky.

"While close approaches are a regular occurrence, one by an asteroid of this size (140-310 ft) happens only about once per decade, providing a unique opportunity for science," tweeted NASA Asteroid … [Read more...] about A 200-foot asteroid will pass Earth closer than the moon Saturday
