Before you donate to a relief aid organization, make sure to research them on trusted sites like Charity Navigator and Guidestar, which rate nonprofits based on their effectiveness and financial condition.

Zippy's Video of the Week
NASA Launches DART at Astreroid
On Monday, Sept. 26, NASA took a page from out of a science fiction movie and crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid with the goal of altering its trajectory. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (or "DART") space mission is a test of a planetary defense against asteroids heading toward Earth.
The asteroid smashed in this week's DART test posed no threat to Earth. Results are still being calculated as to how successful the test was on altering the asteroid's course.
You can watch the whole mission, as broadcast live by NASA. Or you can watch the mission's "official trailer" by following the link below. Unfortunately, actor Bruce Willis was unavailable to help with either video.
