NASA's Small Bodies Assessment Group wants the agency to send spacecraft to visit the asteroid Apophis before it makes a close approach to Earth in 2029. Apophis, also known as asteroid 99942, was
Breaking News. There's a notable, near-ish-collision on Earth -- or at least one that's looming -- and the object that may be about to crash is traveling at 18,000 MPH!!! NASA has sounded an alarm
We actually got hit by an asteroid that was the size of a small building and that one disintegrated about 20 kilometers above the city of Chelyabinsk. And it deposited a fair number of meteorites in the ground and I happen to have a piece of the Chelyabinsk impactor right here in my hand.
The asteroids closest approach to Earth will be on Feb. 14, 2046. Data from NASA shows the asteroid could hit Earth on that date, but it's likely to pass Earth by more than 1.1 million miles. "We
The meteorite hit with a force 150 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Shock waves propagated through the ground and air alike, destroying everything for miles. In the
This animation depicts the orbital trajectory of asteroid 99942 Apophis as it zooms safely past Earth on April 13, 2029. Earth’s gravity will slightly deflect the trajectory as the 1,100-foot-wide (340-meter-wide) near-Earth object comes within 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of our planet’s surface. The motion has been sped up 2,000 times.
By Ed Browne. Reporter. An asteroid that could be nearly 1,250-feet across is due to safely zoom past Earth this week. The space rock, called 2022 BH7, will pass our planet on Friday whilst
NASA scientists have concluded that even a nuclear bomb wouldn't be able to stop a giant asteroid from destroying a huge chunk of Earth. In a simulated exercise, US and European scientists were
Asteroid nearly as big as football field will pass Earth on Saturday or near-Earth asteroid. but for a while it had a 1-in-38-million chance to hit Earth on March 27, 2026, EarthSky said.
