NASA is watching an asteroid that could collide with Earth in the next 23 years, as new research into its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) probe has been released. The asteroid, known as ...
A newly discovered asteroid more than 200 feet wide will zoom in between Earth and the moon this week in an occurrence NASA says happens only once a decade. The asteroid, 2023 DZ2, was ...
In September 2022, NASA made history when it successfully slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid—and sent it careening off its course. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission changed ...
The dramatic mission to alter an asteroid’s trajectory created a debris trail stretching tens of thousands of miles behind the “moonlet” Dimorphos, according to NASA. Scientists say the ...
The DART spacecraft, weighing about 1,200 pounds (544 kilograms), slammed head-on into the asteroid Dimorphos at 13,000 miles per hour (20,921 kilometers per hour) in an attempt to change the ...
The greatest asteroid missions of all time! — NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe could make a 2nd stop at infamous asteroid Apophis ...
Astronomers have observed the aftermath of the collision involving a spacecraft sent by Nasa to crash into an asteroid. The controlled impact was a test of planetary defence, but also gave ...
The chance that a newly discovered asteroid will impact Earth have dropped significantly, and scientists say that they expect the likelihood of an impact to continue to drop in the coming days.
(NewsNation) — NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office announced it has been tracking a new asteroid that could potentially hit Earth on Valentine’s Day in 2046. Although NASA said ...
After a brief flirtation with doom, the newly discovered asteroid that was given a 1-in-600 chance of slamming into Earth on Valentine's Day 2046 is now highly unlikely to hit our planet ...
The controlled impact was a test of planetary defence, but also gave astronomers a chance to learn more about the Dimorphos asteroid by examining the material expelled. On September 26 last year ...
"Often when new objects are first discovered it takes several weeks of data to reduce the uncertainties and adequately predict theirs orbits years into the future," NASA's Asteroid Watch tweeted.
