But NASA and other organizations worldwide constantly watch out for possible impactors from space. Even so, some escape discovery until they hit.

This morning, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its nominations for next year's Golden Globes. Once again, Thom Yorke didn't get nominated for anything.
