Asteroid metal mining is a bold new step. It pulls valuable stuff like platinum, nickel, cobalt, and gold from space rocks. Unlike Earth mining, it uses high-tech robots, AI, and self-flying ...

A team of astronomers used the Gemini South Observatory in Chile to observe asteroid 2024 YR4 in multiple wavelengths as it zoomed away from Earth in February, barely 1 1/2 months after its discovery.

In the field of space exploration and asteroid monitoring, some discoveries raise more eyebrows than others– and asteroid 2024 YR4 is one of them. Whe ...

This artistic animation shows asteroid 2024 YR4 passing by Earth. Astronomers created a 3D image of the newly discovered asteroid after observing it with a telescope in Chile. (9NOIRLab/NSF/AURA/R.

They created a 3D image of it based on their findings. The nearly 200-foot (60-meter) asteroid looks more like a flat disk—or not-quite-round hockey puck—than a potato. It also has a rapid ...

One of the most surprising discoveries came after astronomers created a 3D model of the asteroid using data from the Gemini South telescope in Chile, media report suggests. Unlike most asteroids ...
