Quick Glance: Robert MacNeil, Co-Founder of 'PBS NewsHour,' Passes Away at 93
- Robert MacNeil, a Canadian broadcast journalist who established what is now 'PBS NewsHour' and served as its urbane, impartial co-anchor for two decades, died at the age of 93.
- Teaming up with Jim Lehrer in 1975, they formed one of television journalism's most successful and enduring partnerships, launching what later became 'PBS NewsHour.'
- They opted to provide a sophisticated supplement to network nightly news, focusing on a single issue each night with interviews from experts.
- Despite facing criticism for being dull and elitist, the program garnered a loyal audience and expanded to become the country's first national, hour-long nightly news broadcast in 1983.

Quick Glance: NASA's spacecraft collides with an asteroid, passing a planetary defense test
- Laurel, Maryland — NASA successfully crashed a small spacecraft into an asteroid on Monday, a 14,000-mile-per-hour collision aimed to see if such technology might be used to safeguard Earth from a potentially catastrophic hit.
- It is in orbit around Didymos, a bigger asteroid.
- A second spacecraft would be required to investigate the effect.
- However, a moonlet, like as Dimorphos, orbits its larger sibling at a leisurely pace.
- Indeed, only the larger asteroid, not Dimorphos, could be seen in the spacecraft's camera's live feed 90 minutes before impact.
