You can’t make this stuff up.

An asteroid hit during NASA’s successful DART mission in Sept. 2022 is acting mysteriously, and it’s not clear why.
Back in 2022, NASA tested their DART mission to see if we’re capable of altering the trajectory of an asteroid. To do so, NASA crashed a probe into the target, Dimorphos, and successfully changed its trajectory. Dimorphos’s orbit around the larger asteroid, Didymos, was shortened by 33 minutes within weeks of the impact.
But then, something else started happening. High school teacher Jonathan Swift at California’s Thatcher School and his students used an observatory at the institution to keep track of Dimorphos, and found its orbit and trajectory were changing rather rapidly, according to New Scientist.
“The number we got was slightly larger, a change of 34 minutes,” Swift said of the mysterious change in orbit. “That was inconsistent at an uncomfortable level.”
Swift and his students presented their research at the American Astronomical Society’s New Mexico meeting in June, and received a very positive response. Nancy Chabot, a coordination lead for the DART at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland, said her team continued to observe and investigate Dimorphos after the mission, and will publish its own results in the coming weeks.

Turns out it’s a massive interstellar hornet’s nest. And those alien hornets are PO’d.
A disinterested third party would conclude that the asteroids might think they are under attack… and start fighting back.
Ok then, let’s mess with mother nature some more...
and let’s put something out there to serve as a huge umbrella to block the sun and bring our Earth temperatures down a bit, to lower our climate change hot temperatures. Humans know better.

Unfortunately and through no fault on NASA, that particular asteroid was not actually an asteroid, but a leftover war machine from the Invasion 200 million years ago which destroyed the planet that created the so-called ‘asteroid belt’.
Its awake now, so expect the unexpected.
Actually it is here looking for whales.
Great. Now it’s angry.
What could go wrong.
God’s creation, atheists / scientists call it the Natural Order, is divine. Man’s intervention corrupts and has been at odds with the Natural Order since Adam.
Very simple to understand.
You can’t make this stuff up.
I looked up the high school where students made this observation. It is the most woke school on the planet. They may be right about asteroid stuff, but I doubt it.
It’s for certain they’re wrong about everything else.
BTW, the article misspelled Thacher School.
LOL
The same clowns trying to manipulate the weather with government grants.
Sept. 2022, Dimorphos becomes self-aware.
And the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

Everything we talk about in space is just is assuming and 'reckoning' ('educated' guess).
