The near-Earth asteroid 2025 BC10 will pass safely near our planet on Saturday (April 5). The Virtual Telescope Project will ...

Most of the time these asteroids remain restrained within that interplanetary belt by Jupiter's gravitational field, unable to coalesce into a larger body. But occasionally another asteroid or the ...

Asteroid 2014 TN17, a massive 540-foot space rock, will safely pass Earth at a distance of 5 million kilometers on March 26, 2025. However, its potentially hazardous designation stresses the ...

A massive 540-foot asteroid, 2014 TN17, is heading towards Earth at an astonishing velocity of 77,282 km/h, space agency NASA has announced. The asteroid, which is approximately twice the size of Taj ...

NASA has announced that the 540-foot-wide asteroid 2014 TN17 will pass Earth on March 26, 2025. Despite the pass being 5 million kilometers away, its designation as a potentially hazardous asteroid ...

Beyond assessing collision risks, this event will help them better understand the potential effects of an asteroid passing so close to a planet. Numerical simulations already offer valuable insights.

Astronomers from SETI Institute, NASA’s Ames Research Center and Curtin University have traced the impact orbit of 75 observed meteorite falls to several previously unidentified source regions in the ...

Most are found in the asteroid belt, a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but some like "2025 DU25," have orbits that bring them closer to the Earth. These space rocks vary in size and ...

Geologic map of the asteroid belt. Circles identify the asteroid families from which our meteorites originate and letters mark the corresponding meteorite type. The horizontal axis ranges from short ...

"We now have the first outlines of a geologic map of the asteroid belt." Ten years ago, Jenniskens teamed up with astronomer Hadrien Devillepoix of Curtin University and colleagues in Australia to ...

When the universe gives you asteroid lemons, you should make science lemonade. The asteroid 2024 YR4, once considered potentially hazardous, isn't likely to hit us anytime soon. Now, a team of ...
