There's a very cool experiment attached to a spacecraft on its way to a potentially metal asteroid. Late last year, NASA scientists pressed start on a highly anticipated space mission. Basically ...
A NASA experiment that sent a spacecraft slamming into the side of an asteroid may have sent debris flying into space, possibly into the path of Mars. The asteroid, named Dimorphos, was hit by ...
In 2017, astronomers at the Pan-STARRS observatory looking for near-Earth asteroids spotted an object as it hurtled past our ...
In September of 2022, NASA’s DART mission smashed into the astroid Dimorphos at 14,000 miles per hour to test the effects of asteroid deflection. Although the mission was a success, scientists ...
A fragment of the meteorite, one of the most precious of recent years, fell onto someone's driveway in 2021. The Winchcombe meteorite, which fell to the ground in Gloucestershire in the U.K. after ...
NASA's proved in 2022 that humans could redirect 'city killer' asteroids away from Earth - but with unintended consequences that could put our planet in danger. A pair of Italian astronomers found ...
NASA fixed a remote link to the 46-year-old Voyager 1 space probe on Monday, according to an update from the agency. The probe had been sending “gibberish” code back to NASA because of a ...
Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope collaborates with ESA on a mission targeting small main belt asteroids to deepen understanding of early solar system mysteries. Managed by Nasa's Goddard Center and ...
Scientists may have inadvertently started a game of space billiards - by smashing boulders towards Mars. In September, 2022, NASA deliberately flew the 1,200-pound DART spacecraft into the ...
Late last year, NASA scientists pressed start on a highly anticipated space mission. Basically, they launched a spacecraft toward an asteroid that could very well be made entirely of metal, a ...
