on to sports. 45 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:44,160 A jury has ruled that the National Football League violated antitrust laws in distributing 46 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:49,680 out-of-market Sunday

--> 00:04:50,280 For the busiest air travel day in the United States, seven such days have occurred since 58 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:55,400 late May, driven by strong leisure and business travel demand. 59 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,340 The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen a record 3 million people 60 00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:06,040 next Friday, possibly breaking the

weak consumer spending. 69 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,560 Additionally, up to 650 Boots stores in the United Kingdom will close, with related pre-tax 70 00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:01,640 charges estimated

fly past Earth this week, just in time for World Asteroid 89 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,600 Day, celebrated annually on June 30. 90 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:38,680 The first asteroid, called 2011 UL21, will pass Earth on Thursday afternoon at approximately 91 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,200 414 PM Eastern Time. 92 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:48,640 This gargantuan space rock, measuring 7600 feet long, will be more than 4 million miles 93 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,800 away, offering a spectacular sight for astronomers and citizen scientists. 94 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:02,360 The second asteroid, named

long, will pass at about 97 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,760 3 fourths the distance to the Moon. 98 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,080 Those with strong binoculars or telescopes, especially in Hawaii or South America, may 99 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,960 spot this fast-moving celestial object. 100 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,240 This event underscores the need for improved detection and monitoring of potentially hazardous 101 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,960 near-Earth objects, as highlighted by the European Space Agency. 102 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:43,520 And in entertainment news, Sterling Harjo,

00:09:03,320 strikes. 107 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,760 The Sensitive Kind is described as a Tulsa noir about a character, played by Ethan Hawke, 108 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,960 who knows too much.

physicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson. 114 00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:35,500 And he said, 115 00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:39,640 There is no science in this world like physics. 116 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,600 Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the 117 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,280 world around you. 118 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,200 It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to 119 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,880 rise. 120 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,520 What time the eclipse is going to begin. 121 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,000 And what time the eclipse is going to end. 122 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,560 And that's a wrap for this morning. 123 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:08,360 You can check out our Instagram,
