Unlike other rocky asteroids found in this region, which is between Mars and Jupiter, it seems to be changing as moves through the solar system, growing a tail long enough to reach from Earth to the moon and back again.

So, you don’t have to skip the entire schedule and save your energy for Falcons-Patriots on Sunday night, but you’d be forgiven if you did.

The actual glitches in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim are so numerous that it’s difficult for one to ever put them all together into a comprehensive list. A more recently discovered glitch, for example, shows an entire city full of fog, making the Skyrim town look and feel like Silent Hill.
