But we can now announce that “Dynamite” has broken two more
records following its historic stay in both Billboard’s US Hot 100 and Digital Song Sales Chart.
Until 13 April 2020, the single held the record for the most weeks on the US Hot 100 by a K-
pop track after spending 32 consecutive weeks in the top 100.
The track was No.1 for three weeks (5-12 September and 3 October 2020),
as well as being in the top two for seven weeks and in the top 10 for 13 weeks.
It also remained in the top 50 since its No.1 debut on 5 September 2020 until 13 Apr
Who:P/1999 J6
What:1,795,169 KILOMETRE(S)
Where:NOT APPLICABLE ()
When:12 JUNE 1999
On 12 June 1999, the tiny comet P/1999 J6 passed within 0.012 astronomical units (1,795,169
km) of Earth – only 4.7
times further away than the Moon. This is an extremely close pass in astronomical terms, but t
he diminutive size of the comet (it was estimated to be no more than 48 m (157 ft)
in diameter) meant that it was invisible to the naked eye,
and would have been extremely hard to spot even with a powerful telescope.

Before P/1999 J6 appeared, the record for closest approach had been held by comet D/1770
L1, better known as Lexell’s Comet, since July 1770. During this pass Lexell’s Comet came within
0.015 au (2,258,927 km, 5.9
times the distance between the Earth and the Moon). Lexell’s Comet was far larger, however, r
eaching a peak brightness of
2 on the apparent magnitude scale (about as bright as Polaris – easily visible to the naked eye)
and appearing as large as the planet Jupiter in the night sky.

Attached by an “umbilical cord” that ensured he wouldn’t drift out into space, after plucking u
p the courage,
he launched himself off the side of the spacecraft.At first it seemed like a huge error
of judgment as he went into a dangerous spin, but the cord soon pulled him to a stop.
After 12 minutes floating out in space, soaking up
a view no other man had seen before, Leonov reluctantly prepared to return back
to his spacecraft.
