A test to protect Earth from asteroids unleashed a swarm of boulders—and a new study suggests that there may be some ...
In 2022, NASA launched a spacecraft at an asteroid to test if it was possible to deflect an asteroid should one ever be on a collision course with Earth. The test was deemed more than a success.
When NASA sent its DART spacecraft to slam into the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022, the U.S. space agency demonstrated that it was possible to change a celestial object's trajectory, if needed ...
The first source was aboard DART: The spacecraft captured images as it approached the asteroid and sent them back to Earth via NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN). These images provided close-up ...
NASA closely monitors asteroid 2024 EU4, set to approach Earth on March 23, 2024, at 101,885 km/h. While its size and speed raise concerns, JPL predicts a safe pass by. This event underscores NASA ...
The shape of the asteroid Dimorphos was changed when NASA's DART spacecraft deliberately crashed into it in 2022 as part of a test of humanity's planetary defense capabilities. DART, the Double ...
Yet NASA recently found evidence of an object that did indeed break apart in the Martian atmosphere after heating up — it fragmented but didn't fully disintegrate. The agency's spacecraft in ...
NASA's DART mission made history on September 26, 2022, by intentionally colliding with the asteroid Dimorphos.
Bennu samples are now on public display in Texas, Arizona, and Washington, D.C. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has since embarked on a new mission to study the asteroid Apophis and has been renamed ...
