Clearly Earth is really good at dodgeball, and hopefully it stays that way! I view interesting occurrences like this as a beautiful opportunity to learn more about our planet and space environment, and to share that all with you! Thanks for your support of the channel and my educational efforts, and I'll see you all in the next one, or perhaps even in person at Cosmic Connections!
