There's D&D dice in space! :sunglasses::star:

NASA has released radar images of a Near Earth Asteroid, 2017 BQ6, which recently passed within 1.6 million km of Earth (about 6.6 times the Earth-Moon distance). Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said "Asteroid 2017 BQ6 reminds me of the dice used when playing Dungeons and Dragons. It is certainly more angular than most near-Earth asteroids imaged by radar."

    Earth clearly was successful in the save roll.

    Nah, Earth already failed its saving throw vs. disease a long time ago by the hands of a d12 dice. This time's throw was just a critical miss.

    I'm going to start crowd funding money to launch an asteroid dot painting programme.

    Numerals are unfortunately beyond our technical know how...
