Asteroid 2024 YR4 won't hit Earth in December 2032, but that doesn't mean we're out of the woods forever. via REUTERS We could experience a rock market crash. Asteroid 2024 YR4 won’t hit Earth ...

In recent years, the GSSR telescope has helped reveal the unusual "snowman" shape of one asteroid, detect changes in the orbital trajectories of another and discover a mini-moon orbiting a third. The ...

A massive 540-foot asteroid, 2014 TN17, is heading towards Earth at an astonishing velocity of 77,282 km/h, space agency NASA has announced. The asteroid, which is approximately twice the size of Taj ...

A massive asteroid, 2014 TN17, is heading toward Earth at a staggering speed of 77,282 km/h, NASA has warned. While it will pass at a safe distance, its classification as a "potentially hazardous ...

NASA has announced that the 540-foot-wide asteroid 2014 TN17 will pass Earth on March 26, 2025. Despite the pass being 5 million kilometers away, its designation as a potentially hazardous asteroid ...

Beyond assessing collision risks, this event will help them better understand the potential effects of an asteroid passing so close to a planet. Numerical simulations already offer valuable insights.

When the universe gives you asteroid lemons, you should make science lemonade. The asteroid 2024 YR4, once considered potentially hazardous, isn't likely to hit us anytime soon. Now, a team of ...

In a review paper in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, astronomers trace the impact orbit of observed meteorite falls to several previously unidentified source regions in the asteroid belt.

Geologic map of the asteroid belt. Circles identify the asteroid families from which our meteorites originate and letters mark the corresponding meteorite type. The horizontal axis ranges from short ...
