NASA Television will provide commentary starting at 2:00 PM EST (19:00 UTC) on Friday, 15 February, during the close, but safe, flyby of a small near-Earth asteroid named 2012 DA14. At the time of its closest approach to Earth at approximately 2:25 PM EST (19:25 UTC), the asteroid will be about 17,150 miles (27,600 kilometers) above Earth’s surface — closer than geostationary telecommunication satellites.

Compelling evidence was first presented today for the existence of the higgs boson — the fundamental particle responsible for giving mass to other fundamental particles. The announcement was made by Joe Incandela and Fabiola Gionatti at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN). The mass of the higgs boson has been determined to be 125.3 ± 0.6 GeV/c2. It’s existence has been confirmed with a statistical significance of five standard deviations (5σ). Present in the audience were Peter Higgs and Robert Brout, two of the six theoretical physicists who proposed the mechanism behind the higgs boson in 1964.
