Olympic torch makes spacewalk above Earth
The Olympic flame was carried outside the International Space Station by Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazanskiy during a spacewalk about 260 miles up. The unlit torch floated on a tether amid stars as NASA streamed the moment, part of a relay that began Oct. 7 and will cover 39,000 miles on the way to the Sochi Games.

Six-tailed asteroid found by Hubble in belt region
Hubble spotted an asteroid in the Mars to Jupiter belt with six dust tails. The object, P/2013 PS, rotates so fast its surface may be shedding. A UCLA-led team suggests it is a fragment from a collision about 200 million years ago, first seen by Pan-STARRS in August and confirmed by Hubble in September.
