Asteroid

A new study has claimed that Mars once had a global ocean up to 300 metres (almost 1,000 feet) deep, 4.5 billion years ago, if not more.

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs and changed the course of evolution. The skies darkened and plants stopped photosynthesising. The plants died, then the animals that fed on them.

A fireball is a meteor generally brighter than the planet Venus in the morning or evening sky.

The 100-foot-diameter asteroid 2022 UN5 is hurtling toward Earth at a speed of 29,520 kilometres per hour.

In order to explore an asteroid worth more than the global economy, NASA will launch the "Psyche" mission.

With the use of a cutting-edge tool on the Victor M Blanco telescope in Chile, the "planet killer" known as 2022 AP7 and two additional near-Earth asteroids were identified.

An international team of astronomers on Monday announced the discovery of a large asteroid whose orbit crosses that of Earth, creating a small chance far in the future of a catastrophic collision.

NASA's Lucy probe, a mission to a group of asteroids near Jupiter, flew past Earth on October 16 and took some stunning photos of our planet and the moon before retreating to deep space.

American space agency NASA on Thursday observed a colossal asteroid flying past Earth at a staggering speed of 13 kilometres per second.

Hubble has made 18 observations of the system. The image indicates the second tail formed between October 2 and October 8.

NASA has announced that the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission that crashed a spacecraft into asteroid Dimorphos successfully altered its orbit around parent asteroid Didymos by 32 minutes. According to the US space agency, the target of the test was a minimum successful orbit period change of Dimorphos as change of 73 seconds or more....

NASA on Tuesday said it had succeeded in deflecting an asteroid in a historic test of humanity's ability to stop an incoming cosmic object from devastating life on Earth.

66 million years ago, a 10-kilometre asteroid hit Earth, triggering the extinction of the dinosaurs. New evidence suggests that the Chicxulub impact also triggered an earthquake so massive it shook the planet for weeks to months after the collision.

The new image shows that the asteroid struck by the spacecraft has left a trail of debris which stretches as far as 10,000 kilometres.

Two of NASA's space telescopes - James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope - have captured views of the DART spacecraft intentionally smashing into an asteroid earlier this week.
