NASA has announced that an asteroid about 200 feet in diameter is now slightly more likely to crash into the moon.

That asteroid was probably about six miles across; Bennu is less than a third of a mile wide, on average. Even so, a collision with Bennu would be regionally devastating. An impact would pack the ...

Asteroid 2025 KX8, about the size of a small ... long run.Though models of trajectory at present indicate no danger of impact, scientists keep a watchful eye out. NASA defines objects as ...

The asteroid initially had an approximate 3% chance for impact with Earth, but that recently dropped to less than 0.0017% in new calculations by NASA making it negligible. “It’s really easy to ...

However, later on Thursday afternoon, the impact probability increased to 2.3%, stated NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies. The asteroid was discovered in December 2024 and its ...

China has sent a probe on an ambitious mission to grab rocks from a near-Earth asteroid and return them to Earth before making a final visit to a distant comet. Tianwen-2 blasted off from Xichang ...

Asteroid systems, particularly binary configurations, represent dynamic natural laboratories for studying impact processes and collisional outcomes in our Solar System. Recent advances have shed ...

The asteroid is about the size of a 10-story building, according to researchers. “In the unlikely event that 2024 YR4 is on an impact trajectory, the impact would occur somewhere along a risk ...
