95 Arethusa

Ok, so 95 Arethusa is a type of asteroid that flies around in space. Just like how you might see birds or planes in the sky, there are also rocks and pieces of metal that float around in space. This asteroid is named after a Greek goddess named Arethusa who was known for being a water nymph.

Now, 95 Arethusa isn't very big compared to other asteroids, but it's still important for scientists to study. They can use fancy telescopes and cameras to look at the asteroid and learn more about what it's made of and how it moves through space.

Sometimes, asteroids like 95 Arethusa can get too close to Earth and become what's called a "near-Earth object." This means it's close enough to possibly hit our planet. But don't worry, scientists are always keeping an eye on asteroids like this and figuring out ways to keep Earth safe.
