Asteroid’s surprise close approach illustrates need for more eyes on the sky
On 25 July, a 100 m-wide asteroid dubbed '2019 OK' flew by Earth, coming within 65 000 km of our planet's surface during its closest approach. ESA observed the asteroid just before its flyby, by requesting two separate telescopes in the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON) take images of the space rock.

Observations of cellular life in a local marsh lead researchers to the discovery of a new type of intercellular communication. Crouching in the boot-sucking mud of the Baylands Nature Preserve in Palo Alto, Manu Prakash , associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, peered through his Foldscope - a $1.75 origami microscope of his own invention - scrutinizing the inhabitants of the marsh's brackish waters.
