Description
An asteroid has been observed getting smashed to smithereens by another asteroid! And a medium-sized black hole has been observed, which oddly enough is more interesting than a tiny black hole or a humongous black hole. Find out why, and catch up on nerd news, space news, and special Top quark astro-historical-paradoxical trivia on this episode of Walkabout the Galaxy.

Classical Mechanics
Are your forces not giving you an equal and opposite reaction? Are your springs not giving you simple harmonic oscillation? Is no angle small enough to make your pendulums behave? Well bring your troubles to the expert technicians at Classical Mechanics. We're trained to deal with anything on the macroscopic scale. Our trained staff have certificates in each of Newtonss laws of motion as well as Lagrangians and Hamiltonians. So if your walkabout the galaxy is getting tripped up, come see Classical Mechanics for a free, no obligation appraisal. Our work comes with a guarantee to conserve momentum, angular momentum, and energy, so don't wait for entropy to get you really down: see us at Classical Mechanics now. Classical Mechanics, You're in good hands
