Friday is Veterans Day in the US, a day reserved for Americans to pause to honor and give thanks to those who have served in the US military defending our country.

Google traditionally turns the focus of its Doodle each Nov. 11 to honor the contributions of those brave men and women, and this year’s Doodle draws on familiar themes, with Google lettering depicted in military camouflage intertwined in a 3D paper sculpture of the American flag.

Originally known as Armistice Day, which marked the end of hostilities in World War I, Veterans Day is observed every Nov. 11. The name of the holiday was officially changed to Veterans Day in 1954, but many still observe a moment of silence on Nov. 11 at the 11th hour — the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, when the cessation of hostilities officially ended in World War I.

Friday’s Doodle was created by Monty Little, a member of the Navajo Nation and Marine Corp veteran from Tuba City, Arizona. Little said he was humbled when he was approached to collaborate on the Doodle.

In the past week, news outlets around the world have been reviving a clickbait trope yet again about a skyscraper-size asteroid “hurtling towards Earth.” Most of these refer to newfound asteroid 2022 RM4, a big space rock coming closer to our planet on Halloween than other asteroids its size. But it will never come anywhere near our planet in any practical sense.

It’s been the same story plenty of other times, including coverage of a different asteroid in January 2020, when headlines screamed of a “gigantic” asteroid the size of the Empire State Building speeding “towards Earth.”

At least that’s how it was reported at the time by Sputnik, the news site funded by the Russian government. The reality, as the article said after the scary headline, was that asteroid 2019 UO would pass us safely at a distance of 2,808,194 miles (4,519,351 kilometers). That’s almost 12 times farther away than the moon. I scarcely think of the moon, let
