A recent study led by Ronald-Louis Ballouz from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory suggests that the asteroid 99942 Apophis may experience tremors—similar to earthquakes—due ...

While it might resemble a haunted red space snowman, Arrokoth is an object in our solar system that’s fascinating space enthusiasts. NASA has revealed astonishing new data about it, giving us a more ...

You might have heard that a honking big asteroid known as the 'God of Chaos' is heading our way and it's going to get closer to Planet Earth than some satellites. Now scientists reckon that its ...

When the 'God of Chaos' asteroid flies by our planet in five years, Earth's gravity could cause it to experience 'astroquakes,' scientists have predicted. Their research suggests that when the ...

Last month, an asteroid impacted Earth's atmosphere just hours after being detected — somehow, it managed to circumvent impact monitoring systems during its approach to our planet. However ...

A "bus-sized" asteroid being tracked by NASA will zoom safely past the Earth on Wednesday as both celestial objects make a close approach while orbiting around the sun. The space rock, known as ...

Its shortest axis measures about 170 metres. The asteroid is likely to be egg-shaped or possibly dual-lobed, resembling Arrokoth, a small celestial body that NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft ...

A “city killer” asteroid the size of the Empire State Building is still a potential threat to Earth in 2029, according to new simulations. Asteroid 99942, which is about 1,200 feet/370 meters ...

Measuring 1,000-feet-long, the massive asteroid was discovered in 2004. Apophis is predicted to pass within 20,000 miles of Earth—closer than some orbiting satellites—on April 13, 2029.

Goodnight room, goodnight moon. The Hera spacecraft, speeding on to an asteroid, took a look back at Earth's moon — and in a new animation, you can see our neighbor shrinking as Hera flies away.

However, one of the few for which we can be truly ready is an asteroid strike. While nobody has found any large asteroids on a collision course with Earth yet, scientists, engineers and policy ...

Tiny grains from a distant asteroid are revealing clues to the magnetic forces that shaped the far reaches of the solar system more than 4.6 billion years ago. Scientists at MIT and elsewhere have ...
