One scroll through our overwhelmingly politically Facebook feed has many of us thinking that the world really is coming to an end.
But while we’ve been busy shaking our heads at Trump’s latest 140-characters, the earth has had not one, but four close collisions with massive asteroids.
The latest bus-size asteroid flew between the earth and the moon at 3:25 PM EST this past Thursday (February 2). Previous to the most recent rock (traveling at an incredible 25,800 miles per hour), three other objects have come within the earth’s lunar orbit over the past month.
While we’ve managed to escape unscathed, it’s unclear just how pressing future asteroid threats are. Understanding asteroid behavior is a science still in early exploration by NASA.
What we can be sure of, is that we are in for a long four years ahead – unless of course, we’re not so lucky with the next flying rock.
Kaitlyn started her career in public accounting at Ernst and Young. Living in the bay area, tech surrounded her and after two years at Ernst and Young, she left for Google. After just a year at Google, Square tapped Kaitlyn’s shoulder and she jumped at the opportunity to join while they were still in their infancy. She watched them grow from less than 100 people to over 1,500. While Kaitlyn was still working full-time as a tech recruiter, she became a certified barre and pilates instructor, attended Bauman College of Holistic Nutrition, and started a wellness blog to help busy working women like herself maintain their health. Eventually, she left tech to start her own business - Noble Wellness. Kaitlyn coaches individuals in all things wellness - meal planning, emotional eating, understanding nutrition, and adding movement to hectic schedules. She’s also a recipe developer and food photographer - you can see a lot of her work on her personal blog, Pinch of Kate. She also offers private training in pilates, barre, and HIIT. Kaitlyn now resides in West Los Angeles and loves getting to know a new city!
