A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause ...

A large asteroid could be heading toward Earth within the next decade, and there's a small chance it could strike the planet, according to NASA.

The asteroid is unlikely to be cause for concern, but its detection has triggered planetary defence response procedures for ...

An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.

A near-Earth object was likely ejected into space after an impact thousands of years ago. Now it could contribute new ...

Using the ESA's measurement, asteroid 2024 YR4 may range anywhere from 200 to 500 Squishmallows, or roughly half of the size ...

De la Fuente Marcos’ paper in September suggested that the object is part of the Arjuna asteroid belt, which is made of small asteroids that have orbits around the sun similar to Earth’s orbit.

The sun’s light exerts a tiny force called “solar radiation pressure” on objects in space. Lightweight human-made debris, ...

A program under the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, Sentry tracks any known asteroids that have a non-zero probability of hitting Earth.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has revealed it is closely monitoring an asteroid that could hit the Earth in 2032. The ...
