ASTEROID

Researchers studying shells found that the Earth was already under stress due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere even before the mass extinction event. The results could help us see how Earth might respond to carbon dioxide pressures in the future.

NASA has finally selected the ideal site where the OSIRIS-REx mission can collect natural samples from asteroid Bennu.

NASA is currently monitoring an asteroid that’s expected to approach Earth tomorrow.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has detected an asteroid that has a non-zero probability of hitting Earth less than a year from now. 

NASA has warned that one of the biggest asteroids to approach Earth this month is about to make its debut next week.

Prominent scientist Bill Nye recently lauded the achievements of The Planetary Society’s LightSail 2 spacecraft and how it can revolutionize space travel.

NASA has spotted a massive asteroid’s expected to approach Earth on Friday. According to the agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid has an Earth-crossing orbit.

An astronomer from NASA explained how the agency uses one of its space telescopes to spot hard-to-see asteroids. This has become one of NASA's leading tools to hunt down asteroids that might pose a threat to Earth.

Researchers from NASA were able to discover how gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn can prevent planets like Earth from experiencing major asteroid impacts. Based on their findings, these gas giants seem to balance out the Solar System and protect other planets from getting hit by massive asteroids.

A study presented a new theory regarding the formation of large cosmic objects such as planets. According to the authors of the new study, electrical polarization may play an important part in the aggregation of dust particles in space to form large cosmic structures.

NASA is closely monitoring a massive asteroid that follows an Earth-crossing orbit. According to the agency, the space rock is expected to intersect the planet’s orbit later tonight.

A space and science writer explained how big an asteroid should be in order to create an extinction-level event on Earth. The expert noted that in order to cause this kind of effect, the asteroid should be bigger than the one that killed off the dinosaurs millions of years ago.

NASA warned that it has detected three massive asteroids that are currently headed for Earth. Based on their sizes, these approaching asteroids can destroy large areas such as cities and towns if they end up colliding with the planet.

The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA have detected a massive asteroid that has a non-zero impact probability.

NASA has warned that three asteroids with Earth-crossing orbits are expected to approach the planet.

NASA has detected the biggest asteroid to approach Earth this week.

A scientist warned that a massive asteroid hitting Earth and causing an extinction-level event is inevitable.

A video explained what would happen if a star as massive as the Sun enters the Solar System. According to the video, this would trigger a series of catastrophic events that would eventually destroy Earth.

NASA is currently monitoring a massive asteroid that’s expected to approach Earth on Wednesday. According to the agency, the approaching asteroid is almost as big as the Statue of Liberty.

A researcher from NASA has revealed that comets actually pose a bigger threat to Earth than asteroids.

Researchers believe that the fireball event that previously occurred in Australia was caused by a meteor classified as a minimoon. The researchers consider the incident as a rare event because the last time a minimoon appeared near Earth was in 2006.
