The APOD from February 3rd shows an object that appears to be a collision between two asteroids, although it is not known for certain. If it is the debris of a collision, the impact occurred at 15,000 km/p, which released an incredible amount of energy. This is astounding to me because the shear size of space means that impacts between objects are very rare, especially objects of this small size.
