NASA warned that two asteroids with Earth-crossing orbits are currently speeding towards the planet. According to the agency, these two asteroids will cross Earth’s path this weekend.
The report suggested that the global tipping point was an indication that Earth’s important resources are damaged beyond repairs.
The second interstellar comet to enter the Solar System is expected to reach its closest distance from Earth in December. As it makes its approach, astronomers from Yale University were able to capture new close-up images of the object.
NASA’s asteroid monitoring system has spotted an approaching asteroid that follows an Earth-crossing orbit.
Experts involved in the search for extraterrestrial life (SETI) are not confident that discoveries related to this field will be made by next year. But, with the current advances in space technology, they are hoping that humans will eventually come across alien life in the near future.
NASA noted that December will be kicked off by visits from two moderately-sized asteroids.
Two theoreticians from Japan defied the common notion that planets only orbit host stars such as the Sun.
Ufologist Billy Meier claimed that aliens have warned him about the destruction that the killer asteroid Apophis will cause on Earth during an impact event.
A new video shows what would happen to Earth if its rotation suddenly changes direction.
A report analyzing North America’s vulnerability to the effects of a powerful solar storm warned that the entire region could experience severe power outages that can last for up to two years. The report indicated that this event could be triggered by a solar storm as powerful as the one that hit the planet in 1859.
An expert revealed that if a nearby star went supernova, the blast from its death would be powerful enough to destroy the planet. He noted that the amount of energy that would hit Earth would be equivalent to about 10 atomic bombs.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has detected two of the biggest space rocks that will approach Earth next month. According to the agency’s database, the two approaching cosmic objects have been labeled as potentially hazardous asteroids due to the threat they pose on Earth.
Recently, scientists have found evidence that Jupiter's luna shares characteristics from Saturn's moon Enceladus.
A UFO expert claimed that NASA’s satellite was able to record a video of a black triangle-shaped object that’s as big as the Moon flying near the Sun. According to the expert, the mysterious object was on a reverse orbit around the massive star.
NASA’s asteroid impact monitoring system has detected a space rock that could collide with Earth a couple of years from now. According to the agency, the asteroid follows a natural orbit that intersects with Earth’s path around the Sun.
Astronomers warned that SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation could block the view of a new telescope known as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). If this happens, the telescope will not be able to carry out some of its important functions, such as hunting nearby asteroids that pose a threat to Earth.
An astrophysicist described what would happen if a black hole that’s only 1 millimeter wide suddenly appears on Earth. According to the scientist, the black hole’s gravitational pull would still completely tear Earth apart despite its tiny size.
NASA’s asteroid tracking system has detected a space rock following an Earth-crossing orbit that’s set to approach the planet this Saturday. If the asteroid ends up hitting Earth, it would create a massive explosion in the atmosphere.
An expert on Apollo recalled how one of NASA’s missions to the Moon almost never left Earth due to two bizarre anomalies that occurred right before its launch.
Scientists at NASA are pushing for a flagship mission to Venus, which is the agency’s most expensive class of space expeditions. For the scientists, deploying this kind of mission to Venus is vital in order to investigate if the planet really was habitable in the past.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) recently reported that the latter’s experimental spacecraft got hit by micro space dust several times while it was orbiting Earth.
NASA warned that the biggest asteroid to approach this month is currently headed for Earth.
