Less than a decade after discovering a near-Earth asteroid with lunar origins, an international group of scientists says they have determined where this mysterious object came from on the moon's ...
Kamo'oalewa, a 131- to 328-foot-wide (40 to 100 meters) near-Earth object (NEO), was liberated by an asteroid impact between 1 million and 10 million years ago, a smashup that created the moon's ...
The asteroid came barreling toward Earth at speeds of around 27,000 miles per hour. When it crashed into the ground, it created a cavity in what is now the Gulf of Mexico, which is roughly 124 ...
Impact and dynamical modeling revealed that to launch a chunk of rock the size of Kamo’oalewa away from the Moon, it would take an impact from an asteroid of at least 1 km (0.6 miles) wide.
We may no longer have to fear unseen Empire State Building-sized space rocks passing within our orbit. Asteroid hunters have identified 27,500 overlooked near-Earth asteroids using cutting-edge ...
What would be the likely outcome of an asteroid colliding with Earth? That's the question tackled by this anxiety-inducing documentary. It seems a lot depends on whereabouts on the planet such an ...
Dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period 65 million years ago. Now scientists have found extraordinary evidence which documents the colossal asteroid impact event. It was widely ...
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 ...
