August 15, 2013/8 Comments//by. Life tenure for out-of control federal judges, including members of the Supreme Court will never be abolished unless there is an overwhelming public demand. I was asked for my view regarding a proposal to provide term limits for federal judges, including members of the U.S. Supreme Court. This is my response:
Asteroids are small, airless rocky worlds revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets. They are also known as planetoids or minor planets. In total, the mass of all the asteroids is less than that of Earth's moon. But despite their size, asteroids can be dangerous. Many have hit Earth in the past, and more will crash into our planet in the future.
Asteroids lie within three regions of the solar system. Most asteroids lie in a vast ring between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This main asteroid belt holds more than 200 asteroids larger than 60 miles (100 km) in diameter. Scientists estimate the asteroid belt also contains between 1.1 million and 1.9 million asteroids larger than three-fifths of a mile (1 km) in diameter and millions of smaller ones.
