We named our galaxy the milky way because of early feminists. The stars were scattered throughout the sky like the random lactations of aggressive females. Those prehistoric bitches would spray us with their tit milk when we were thinking about god. WTF is wrong with them?

"The football field-sized asteroid’s odds of striking the moon on December 22, 2032, jumped from 1.7 per cent in late February to 3.8 per cent based on data collected using the James Webb Space Telescope, the New York Postreports.
While there’s still a 96.2 per cent chance the asteroid will miss the satellite completely — if it were to make impact, it wouldn’t alter the moon’s orbit, according to experts at NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies."
Not very scary, but the moon is a satellite according to the article.
