According to NASA, one of the largest known potentially hazardous asteroids will approach Earth less than a year from now.
NASA is closely monitoring a potentially hazardous asteroid that is expected to dangerously approach Earth a month from now. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is almost twice as big as the Empire State Building.
Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and cosmochemist Natalie Starkey warned that although asteroids may have brought life on Earth, they could also spell the end for the entire planet following a major impact event.
As NASA prepares a sample return mission on asteroid Bennu, concerns regarding the massive space rock hitting Earth are beginning to emerge. Several factors in space, as well as a spacecraft landing on the asteroid, could send it into a direct collision path with the planet.
A scientist presented a couple of extreme solutions to prevent an asteroid from colliding with Earth. Aside from ramming the space rock, the scientist said that painting the asteroid could save Earth from a major impact event.
Following Earth’s near-collision with an asteroid during the weekend, a scientist warned that an impact event is inevitable. Although it is not yet clear when it will occur, the scientist said that an asteroid hitting Earth will surely happen.
A potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) that’s currently headed for Earth has been detected by NASA. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is taller than the Golden Gate Bridge towers.
Scientists are currently studying the ghostly signals emitted by planets that were already destroyed by their host stars. Studying these signals is vital since Earth will most likely end up like these planets in the future.
NASA has spotted the biggest asteroid that will approach Earth this month. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) is bigger than the Taipei 101 skyscraper.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new highly-detailed image of Jupiter. The new image clearly shows the giant planet’s Great Red Spot as well as other features that can be spotted from Space.
An astrophysicist warned that Earth will eventually end up like Venus, which is known for its hellish environment. This will happen once the Sun gets old enough to push Earth out of the habitable zone.
NASA has detected two potentially hazardous asteroids (PHA) that are currently headed for Earth. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), one of the approaching asteroids is over three times taller than the Washington Monument.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and cosmochemist Natalie Starkey recently discussed what would happen if the asteroid that caused the Chelyabinsk impact event hit a heavily-populated city instead.
A new study revealed how radiation from deep space missions can affect the brain functions of astronauts. According to the researchers, being exposed to space radiation can cause various long-term effects such as memory loss, learning issues and social anxiety.
During an episode of astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “StarTalk” podcast, a cosmochemist talked about the risks involved in mining asteroids. According to the scientist, mining an asteroid could alter its trajectory and send it crashing to Earth.
NASA is currently monitoring a potentially hazardous asteroid that’s currently heading for Earth. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is significantly larger than Apophis 99942, the space rock that’s predicted to hit Earth in the future.
A UFO expert claimed to have spotted a couple of alien artifacts on Mars after going through the photos taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover. According to the UFO expert, one of the images featured a leg that appeared to be mechanical in nature.
Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson issued a serious warning regarding the effects of a deadly asteroid strike on Earth. Aside from the impact, another destructive effect of an asteroid strike would be the massive tsunamis it will trigger.
Through data provided by NASA’s space probes, a team of researchers discovered that the Moon and Mercury may contain more water ice than previously thought. This could serve as an important resource to support long-term lunar explorations.
A massive asteroid that’s currently traveling towards Earth has been detected by NASA. According to the space agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the approaching asteroid is bigger than the Big Ben clock tower in London.
Through NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, a team of scientists was able to observe as an odd-shaped planet leaked heavy metals into space. According to the scientists, the leak, as well as the planet’s shape, are caused by its extremely close distance to its host star.
A team of researchers reported that Earth recently got hit by the highest level of gamma rays ever recorded. According to their findings, the gamma particles originated from a supernova remnant known as the Crab Nebula.
