Scientists Discover 63 Young Asteroid Families, Doubling Previous Record in Solar System
A new study published in Icarus has revealed 63 newly discovered young asteroid families, more than doubling the previously known count. Formed less than 10 million years ago, these groups provide fresh insights into asteroid evolution. Researchers say many more remain hidden, offering crucial clues about meteorite origins and potential Earth-impac...

Nostradamus' Predictions For 2025: Asteroid Collision To Plague-Like Outbreak And More
Though Nostradamus' prophecies more often than not miss the mark, they do provide a certain thrill to the people reading them.

Asteroids Impacting Neutron Stars May Be the Cause of Fast Radio Bursts
Research suggests asteroid impacts on neutron stars may be the cause of mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs). These collisions release enormous energy and match observed FRB frequency. Scientists believe interstellar objects colliding with neutron stars could account for their rate and occurrence, while repeating FRBs may stem from asteroid belts. O...

"Potentially Hazardous" Asteroid Discovered, Said To Be Largest In 8 Years
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.

Early Solar System Was More Chaotic as Rocks, Boulders, and Planetesimals Constantly Collided, Says New Study
Astronomers believe asteroids have remained virtually unchanged since their genesis billions of years ago in the early solar system. A new research, which was based on fragments of asteroids that collided with Earth, provides a timeline for part of the mayhem.
