I think you'll agree with me, DRoseDARs, that it's the meager science education in our country that has contributed to our national ignorance of science.
Science is everywhere in our lives as it's the method of discovery about and understanding of all aspects our universe. Most people need science, i.e., medicine, technology, chemistry, etc., but they haven't any understanding of it. I think this is why some people deny climate change or believe vaccinations cause autism. They just don't know what they're talking about.
Regardless, the discovery of 2016 HO3 is fascinating!
