Asteroid Spins Faster Than a Fidget Spinner

Scientists just spotted a wild new asteroid, 2025 MN45, that’s almost the size of eight football fields and spins faster than any other big asteroid they’ve seen—just 1.88 minutes per rotation! It’s way out in the main asteroid belt, not near Earth, but its crazy speed means it’s made of some seriously tough stuff. Oh, and it’s one of nearly 2,000 new asteroids found with the world’s biggest camera. Space is wild! #Science #Asteroid #SpaceNews
