  • Interstellar Object, Cheesy Nightmares, And Smooching Orcas
    This week on Break It Down: We’ve just seen our third-ever interstellar object whizzing though the Solar System, eating cheese really might give you nightmares (but so might dessert), cavers are rewarded with a treasure trove of blind, mummified invertebrates including the only known cave-adapted wasp, the Neanderthal fat factory is just a delicious as it sounds, orcas caught kissing out in the wild, and if the Moon gets slapped by an asteroid as NASA predicts there’s a 4.1 percent chance it might, it would be a 1-in-5,000-years spectacle for Earth to enjoy (from a safe distance).   So, sit back, relax, and let’s Break It Down…   Links: Interstellar object Cheesy nightmares Cave of mummified insects Neanderthal fat factory Collagen Smooching orcas Orcas Giving Humans Food Asteroid about to slap the Moon Project Hail Memory We Have Questions CURIOUS magazine The Big Questions
