The moon's Schrödinger impact basin near the south pole holds two grand canyons formed by an enormous asteroid collision 3.8 ...
A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant chance of impacting ...
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global ...
Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.
Bennu’s highly unlikely impact with Earth—which could happen in 157 years—could cause a global winter and drought, modeling ...
"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said.
The energy to produce the grand canyons on the Moon is about 130 times larger than the energy in the global inventory of ...
CQ, about the size of a 15-story building, is expected to pass near Earth on February 5, 2025. Measuring 150 feet in width, ...
Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets, are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system. Nasa releases images.
YR4 was first discovered in December last year by a telescope in Chile. The near-Earth asteroid is as big as a football field ...
A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause ...
On 27 December last year, astronomers using the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile discovered a small asteroid moving away from ...
