Incoming…

An asteroid hit earth yesterday. Actually, it mostly broke up as it entered the atmosphere so there was nothing very Hollywoodish about it, but it was notable because it was a decent size – around 2-5m – but more significantly, it was the first earth-impacting rock to have been tracked before it hit us. It was discovered about a day in advance of the impact.

This story, in comparison, was discovered by me about a day after it happened. But no doubt, with a comparable rate of progress, I’ll soon be able to bring you news stories before they actually occur.

I’m fairly sure it was on the Today program that morning (as in about 5 hours later – might have been on sooner, but I wasn’t awake 🙂

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks:

Here is some inline `code`.
