While most of you were just barely out of your homes this morning or still safely snuggled still beneath the warm covers, a 35-meter asteroid moving 12 miles a second buzzed between the Earth and the moon. At 8:44 am EST, Asteroid 2009 DD45 got as close as 41,000 miles from terra firma, while dedicated Australians were able to follow its flight with home telescopes, as it appeared to rip through the constellation Virgo. It was an event that went on unnoticed by most of the world, but for those few amateur astronomers, it was a piece of cosmic theater that really put perhaps their place in the universe a little more into perspective.

For those of you now eager not to sleep through your next potentially catastrophic cosmic event unfolding mostly unwitnessed, the most recent issue of The New Yorker has surprisingly come to your aid. Doom legend Bobby Liebling is back, unstoppable, and in the magazine’s Night Life section. Apparently there is some haggard, silent personality at that venerable old publication who is a fan of Liebling’s on-again, off-again metal act, Pentagram. Having existed in one incarnation or another for more than 35 years, the band left an indelible mark on the cooler half of metal. The group is back again after quasi hiatus, with a brand new lineup, ready to perform two shows this month. Fans will have a chance to catch Liebling at Webster Hall in New York this Friday, as well as at Sonar in Baltimore on Saturday night. There are no more dates on the horizon, so production company 9.14 Pictures will be showing up to film the shows for their long-awaited Liebling-centric documentary, Last Rites. Join them and other amateur star watchers while Liebling, like 2009 DD45, will come screaming just past Earth with little fanfare or recognition, only to pass on into the outter reaches of space.
