NASA has detected a total of four mid-sized asteroids that will approach Earth this weekend. According to the agency’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, the approaching asteroids follow Earth-crossing orbits.
A new scientific video explored the possibility of Earth’s crust opening up and covering the surface of the planet with lava.
NASA recently shared a haunting image of a pulsar that strangely resembles a massive ghostly hand reaching out in space.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring a near-Earth object that’s expected to approach the planet tomorrow.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) confirmed that Earth was hit by an asteroid last week.
Over 200 scientists warned that Earth is in danger of suffering a global systemic collapse due to the number of natural disasters and weather events happening at the same time
NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has detected an asteroid that’s expected to approach Earth tomorrow morning.
SpaceX’s ambitious Starlink satellite constellation project is in danger of getting shut down after a group of astronomers threatened to file legal action against the Elon Musk’s company. According to members of the group, they would like to stop the full launch of the project due to its effects on the night sky.
Scientists sailing in the ocean south of New Zealand have been drilling into Earth’s crust to learn more about the planet’s history. Specifically, the scientists are hoping to understand the effects of extinction-level events on Earth.
The Helix Nebula is a bright cosmic structure that looks like a giant eyeball staring into space. According to NASA, the nebula was created by a star that’s nearing the end of its life cycle.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring two near-Earth objects that are expected to approach the planet tomorrow. According to the agency, the approaching space rocks are Apollo asteroids, which means they have Earth-intersecting orbits.
One of NASA’s current missions on Mars made an unexpected discovery that could explain a disruptive phenomenon that regularly occurs on Earth. This phenomenon, which interferes with radio communications, can’t be fully studied on Earth due to its location.
A planetary scientist remade a video previously released by NASA to show Earth’s ancient features such as mountain ranges and land bridges that early humans used to cross continents. The video was made by simulating the disappearance of oceans and other bodies of water on the planet.
An expert warned that Earth might experience a mini ice age when the Sun hibernates due to its solar minimum cycle. According to the expert, the Sun’s hibernation and extremely cold weather could last for over three decades.
NASA is currently monitoring a total of five asteroids that are expected to approach Earth tomorrow. Based on the data collected by NASA on the asteroids, the approaching space rocks could cause powerful mid-air explosions if they hit the planet.
The latest updates provided by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) indicated increased activity in the country’s Taal Volcano. Due to the volcano’s current status, the agency warned that a powerful eruption could still occur.
A team of scientists may have uncovered the possible cause behind one of the brightest supernova events ever discovered. According to the scientists, one of the stars that caused the cosmic event could be as big as the entire Solar System.
NASA warned that a massive potentially hazardous asteroid bigger than the Empire State Building is currently headed for Earth. If this space rock hits the planet, the blast would be powerful enough to wipe out an entire major city.
A new study warned solar storms that are powerful enough to cause global blackouts and take out GPS signals and satellites could occur more frequently than previously thought. The authors of the study came to this conclusion after identifying the periods when super solar storms occur.
NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has detected a massive asteroid that’s currently moving towards Earth. If it collides with Earth, it would cause a major impact event on the planet.
A former lead senior engineer for NASA discussed how the agency intends to decommission the International Space Station (ISS) once its mission officially ends.
NASA is currently monitoring an asteroid with an Earth-crossing orbit that’s expected to approach the planet tomorrow.
