Two Indian schoolgirls have discovered an asteroid which is slowly shifting its orbit and moving toward Earth. Radhika Lakhani and Vaidehi Vekariya, both studying in 10th grade, were working on a school project when they discovered the asteroid, which they named HLV2514. The girls, from the city of Surat in the western Indian state of Gujarat, were participating in a Space India and NASA project, which allows students to analyze images taken by a telescope positioned at the University of Hawaii. Aakash Dwivedi, senior educator and astronomer at Space India, told CNN that students across India were taught how to spot the celestial bodies using software which analyzes images collected by NASA's PAN Star telescope.

I remember that song. I liked it but it’s very haunting in a way and very depressing, too.

So great to see NASA spending American tax payers money on training Indian students to learn space science skills that, I guess American students won't do. It's past the time that we stop taking skills away from America's next generation and give it to our competitors. Totally insane 😲.
