Summary:
- Astronomers have discovered a massive asteroid that is spinning at an incredibly fast, "impossible" speed.
- This asteroid, named 2023 AX1, is about 1 kilometer in diameter and is rotating once every 2 minutes, which is much faster than any other known asteroid.
- The rapid spin of this asteroid is puzzling scientists, as such high rotation rates are usually only seen in much smaller space rocks. They are investigating what could be causing this unusual behavior.
