NASA's DART mission successfully altered Dimorphos' orbit, but the impact unleashed over 100 boulders, significantly boosting ...

Three years ago, a space mission made history by altering an asteroid's trajectory. This experiment paved the way for new ...

“The probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 will strike the Moon on 22 December 2032 is now approximately 4 percent, and this probability was still slowly rising as the asteroid faded out of view,” the ...

In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid.

When NASA's DART mission crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos, the first stage of the impact saw the spacecraft's solar panels strike and pulverize two large boulders on the target, debris from which ...

Asteroid impacts represent a formidable natural phenomenon with the capacity to alter Earth’s environment on both local and global scales. The collision of near‐Earth objects (NEOs) with our ...

When NASA steered its Dart probe into an asteroid, it was supposed to determine how much it could be deflected. The consequences were unexpectedly severe.

"NWA 16788 is a discovery of extraordinary significance — the largest Martian meteorite ever found on Earth, and the most valuable of its kind ever offered at auction,” Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby's ...

Initial sightings of Asteroid 2032 YR4 were tricky, but tracking has gotten better, helping us understand its path. New data, especially from the James Webb Space Telescope, helps us narrow down the ...

Any uncertainty in the calculation of the object’s orbit causes variations in the predicted solution. Instead of one precise ...

A small, secretive group of lizards that still exists today may have been the only terrestrial vertebrates that survived in the vicinity of the Chicxulub asteroid collision, which led to the ...
