The European Space Agency (ESA) has detected a massive asteroid that has a chance of hitting Earth in the future. Based on its size, the asteroid is almost as large as the tallest man-made structure in the world and is capable of wiping out an entire city if it collides with the planet.
A study revealed that water in asteroids that orbit near Earth can be extracted and turned into fuel for satellites and spacecraft. The findings of the study indicated that asteroids are more practical sources of water in space than the Moon.
A study has revealed the main reason why certain asteroids and meteors explode in the sky after entering Earth’s atmosphere. According to the authors of the study, their findings can help the world become more prepared for the next Chelyabinsk event.
NASA is currently tracking three asteroids that are headed for Earth. These three asteroids will most likely burn up in Earth’s atmosphere and explode mid-air if they end up on a collision course with the planet.
NASA’s collision monitoring system has detected an asteroid that can cause over 100 potential impacts on Earth. Based on the asteroid’s size, it will most likely create a huge fireball in the sky if it hits the planet.
NASA has detected three asteroids that are currently heading toward Earth. Based on the size of the space rocks, they will most likely explode mid-air after breaching Earth’s atmosphere.
A new study conducted by an astronomer revealed that Jupiter could be harboring dangerous asteroids that could hit Earth. If the orbits of these asteroids change, they could end up on a collision course with the planet.
The Discovery Channel released a terrifying video showing a simulation of what exactly will happen to Earth if it gets hit by a massive planet-killer asteroid. As shown in the video, Earth will become totally inhabitable in less than a day following the catastrophic impact event.
A report submitted by NASA to the U.S. Congress outlined the various ways that can save Earth from a possible major asteroid impact. The report included assessments for both nuclear and non-nuclear options.
NASA has spotted two asteroids that will fly close to Earth this weekend. Given the size of the asteroids, they will most likely explode in Earth’s atmosphere if they hit the planet.
A video has outlined the top five ways that can save Earth from getting hit by a city or even a planet-killer asteroid. It also shows what space agencies and government can do if they were not able to detect a killer asteroid on time.
NASA has detected three asteroids that are currently headed for Earth. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the biggest asteroid from the group is larger than the Statue of Liberty.
A massive asteroid that NASA stated is capable of causing over 160 potential impact events on Earth is expected to approach the planet next week. The updated data collected by the agency has revealed what will happen between Earth and the asteroid during the latter’s visit.
Despite the discovery of city and planet-killer asteroids, a planetary scientist believes there are other types of space rocks that Earth should be worried about. According to the scientist, these are the types of asteroids that space agencies should focus on.
An asteroid is set to skim by Earth's atmosphere this coming Halloween, NASA warns.
NASA announced that it intends to build a new space telescope that will be mainly used to track asteroids that are on a collision course with Earth. The space agency made the announcement after its budget for planetary defense was increased.
A former NASA astronaut and co-founder of a planetary defense organization revealed how Earth can be successfully saved from a major impact event caused by an asteroid.
NASA is currently tracking a giant potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) that is expected to approach Earth this week. Due to the asteroid’s speed and massive size, it is certainly capable of wiping out an entire city if it hits Earth.
Internal emails sent by NASA’s employees revealed just how close Earth got to getting hit by a large asteroid.
NASA is tracking a total of five asteroids that are currently headed for Earth. One of the approaching asteroids is big enough to wipe out an entire city if it hits the planet.
NASA is closely monitoring a total of five asteroids that are headed for Earth. The biggest asteroid from the group is capable of creating a mile-wide crater if it collides with the planet.
A cosmochemist warned that human extinction is almost guaranteed if Earth gets hit by a planet-killer asteroid. The scientist also noted that despite NASA’s plans to protect Earth from asteroids, the chances of a major impact happening are still pretty big.
