NASA is tracking a house-sized asteroid set to whiz past Earth tomorrow at a thundering 29,304 miles per hour. The space rock—named "2025 DJ22"—is estimated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to be ...
NASA’s DART mission tested asteroid deflection. Scientists analyzed ejecta patterns, momentum transfer, and deflection ...
While many astrologers, seers and mystics are predicting a hopeful future. If you believe Nostradamus, you better start ...
NASA says Earth is in the clear from asteroid 2024 YR4, which previously had a small chance of hitting our planet in 2032.
Here are today's general risks from asteroids or comets both tiny and very large. Importantly, even relatively small rocks ...
A recently discovered asteroid, named 2024 YR4, has on average a 2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. While those odds of an impact are slim, astronomers are closely tracking the space rock to ...
An asteroid that's big enough to wipe out a city has a 1-in-43 chance of hitting our planet in the year 2032. But according to new calculations, there's an even smaller chance that it might crash ...
Not much is known about 2024 YR4, but the asteroid is estimated to be 131 to 295 feet (40 to 90 meters) wide, a “size range comparable to that of a large building,” said Dr. Paul Chodas ...
The space agency's Dart spacecraft deliberately rammed a harmless asteroid in 2022 in the first planetary defense test of its kind, altering its orbit around its larger companion asteroid.
In September 2022, NASA demonstrated that it was possible to nudge an incoming asteroid out of harm's way by slamming a spacecraft into it as part of its Double Asteroid Redirection Test ...
Space agency NASA have confirmed the possibility that an asteroid could collide with Earth in just seven years. The chance that the asteroid, named 2024 YR4, could hit the earth is 1 in 43, a 2.3% ...
A most viable solution at present is launching a spacecraft to collide with the asteroid at high speed, altering its orbit to avoid Earth. In 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission ...
