NASA has detected a total of three asteroids that will approach Earth this weekend. According to the space agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the largest asteroid from the group is almost as big as the Empire State Building.
NASA admitted that it was already too late when the agency detected an asteroid that was on a collision course with Earth. As a result, the asteroid breached Earth’s atmosphere and exploded somewhere over the Caribbean.
Physicist Brian Cox offered a grim prediction of what will happen to Earth once the Sun reaches the end of its life cycle. Cox also briefly described what would happen to Earth during this cosmic disaster.
A pair of researchers have suggested creating a zip line between Earth and the Moon for a more practical way to transport people and supplies to the lunar surface. According to their study, their proposal about creating a Spaceline is like an improved version of the Space Elevator.
NASA has detected an asteroid almost as big as the Empire State Building that’s on a near-collision course with Earth. The agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has classified the massive space rock as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA).
SpaceX recently carried out a static fire test for the Falcon 9 rocket will carry the Crew Dragon capsule for an upcoming mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission will serve as the company’s first human mission with the capsule.
A physicist claimed that Earth and the entire universe could already be inside a black hole. According to the physicist, this theory is related to the idea that the Big Bang was actually a black hole.
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured an incredible image of an avalanche on the Red Planet. According to NASA, avalanches on Mars regularly occur during springtime.
NASA is closely tracking five massive asteroids that are currently headed for Earth this month. The biggest one from the group is capable of creating a 6-mile-wide crater if it collides with Earth.
NASA is monitoring an asteroid that’s currently headed for Earth. Based on the size of the asteroid, it will most likely explode mid-air and create a huge fireball if it enters Earth’s atmosphere.
A document from NASA revealed a record for the first reported UFO sighting on the Moon. According to the document, the sighting occurred in 1668.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) will officially meet next week to discuss the details of a joint mission that involves deflecting asteroids. The focus of the upcoming mission will be the sub-kilometer near-Earth asteroid Didymos and its moon.
The former administrator of NASA offered a very brief and chilling response when asked about the possibility of a sudden asteroid impact on Earth. Based on the official’s response, it seems Earth’s chance of surviving such an impact is very slim.
Residents in Central New York reported hearing and seeing a large fireball streak across the sky on Monday. According to an astronomy organization, the fireball was caused by an asteroid or meteor that entered Earth’s atmosphere.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory was able to capture a stunning photo of the Swan Nebula. It is known as one of the largest star-forming regions in the Milky Way galaxy.
NASA has detected an asteroid that will approach Earth tonight. If the asteroid breaches Earth’s atmosphere, it will most likely explode mid-air instead of crashing to the ground.
Astronomers from Canada were able to identify Earth’s cosmic fingerprint. According to the astronomers’ new study, the fingerprint can be used as a template in finding habitable alien planets that are similar to Earth.
Aside from the threat posed by massive asteroids, the death of the Sun could also cause the end of Earth. According to astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Earth would freeze within minutes following the Sun’s death or sudden disappearance.
