“Praying outdoors is as damaging as protests, but there is a hundred times more contact between people,” they write.
“Even if the private threat is similar, the national ramifications are different,” they write. “There is no mathematical basis for comparing prayers to protests. Some of us think that [Yom Kippur] Kol Nidrei and Neila prayer is more vital than a school day or a workday. But if you take an informed resolution about what activities to authorize or not, the government divides the public. This is not how a country is controlled and this is not how a crisis is controlled”.

An asteroid the size of a school bus is heading towards us, but NASA says the rock will safely pass Earth on Thursday.
The newly discovered asteroid will be less than 22,000 kilometers from Earth, well below many communications satellites orbiting the planet, scientists said this week. The nearest technique will take place Thursday morning over the southeastern Pacific Ocean.

Scientists estimate that the asteroid measures between 4. 5 meters and nine meters (15 feet and 30 feet). By asteroid standards, this is mediocre. Asteroids of this length hit Earth’s environment and burn once or twice a year, said Paul Chodas, director of the Center for the Study of Near-Earth Objects at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. There may be up to a hundred million of those little asteroids out there.
