| #2 Not an asteroid but a meteor, They don't fly but fall with grace. You don't film a video but record it. Essentially the whole headline proves I am a pedantic asshole . |

| #1 I can't wait for ATLAS. The comet will reappear in Earth's sky in December 2025. I hope it's a comet or Santa, and not the 12th Imam. |
