- Whoa! An asteroid came pretty close to hitting Earth last night [1], just in time for a Halloween [2] scare. NASA wasn't too worried about it, though, thanks to a new tool that scans telescope data to determine the chances of an object colliding with our planet. So how close did it come? Within 310,000 miles.
- Speaking of getting close, 32-year-old Prince Harry is reportedly dating 35-year-old American actress Meghan Markle [3]. You might recognize her from her role as Rachel Zane on Suits. The two allegedly met while promoting the Invictus Games in Toronto back in May. Markle hasn't issued a statement about the rumored relationship, and a Kensington Palace spokesperson said they "would not comment on private matters," according to People.
- The UK is also making headlines because of a University of Edinburgh study on male birth control that had to end early [4]. Apparently 20 male participants out of 320 between the ages of 18 and 45 dropped out because of side effects like mood swings and acne, causing women everywhere to LOL.
- With eight days to go until the election, former Attorney General Eric Holder and 100 past prosecutors and Department of Justice officials signed a letter [5] slamming FBI director James Comey. The letter said Comey's decision to bring up the emails connected to Hillary Clinton's private server were "troubling" and a "departure from the department's widely-respected, non-partisan traditions." Comey has gotten heat for the timing of his decision, with many thinking he's trying to influence the election against Clinton. Over the weekend, the FBI obtained a warrant for the emails that were found on the laptop of former Congressman Anthony Weiner, who's the estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
